Shaping the Future of Interactive Experiences
We are a research group in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) at htw
saar.
We innovate at the crossroads of technology, UX, and AI
to create and evaluate interactive experiences that
engage, assist, and empower people.
Mission
The interaction experience group is dedicated to educating the next generation of engineers and
researchers
advancing the design and development of interactive systems that blend creativity and technology to
enhance user experiences through human-centered design.
We are part of the School of Engineering at Saarland University of Applied Sciences (htw saar).
Our mission is to explore the intersections of interactive technologies, immersive design, and
intelligent
systems, with applications ranging from entertainment and gaming to education, sustainability and health.
Through interdisciplinary collaboration and cutting-edge research, we aim to create experiences that
engage, assist, and empower people in meaningful ways.
