Toward a society where everyone can connect, learn, and participate
The Human-Information-Technology Lab (HIT Lab) studies interaction among people, information, and technology.

Based on an understanding of each individual's behavior, cognition, and emotions, it designs interactions that support connection, learning, and participation, aiming to support people's agency and growth.
Its research combines experiments, behavioral observation in the laboratory and in real-world settings, and statistical and computational analysis.
