Hitlab Howest

In the “Human Interface Technology Lab” (HITlab), affiliated with Howest University of Applied Sciences, we are interested in humans in interaction with technology. HITlab focuses on various topics, ranging from measuring behavioral and (neuro-)physiological responses of users, to the development of adaptive and immersive applications that can respond to the mental state of the user. You will find both state-of-the-art measuring equipment that is typically used in a lab environment (such as high-end eye-tracking and body-tracking systems and EEG equipment for measuring brain activity) as well as user-friendly and cheaper systems that can be used in a real-life settings (such as mobile eye trackers and wearables). We also have the latest VR and AR systems at our disposal. We conduct research in various sectors, ranging from occupational therapy to industrie 4.0.
