HomeFrom HIT Lab AustraliaWelcome to the Human Interface Technology Laboratory Australia (HIT Lab AU)
HIT Lab AU is a newly formed teaching and research facility within the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Tasmania. The lab is situated on the Newnham campus in Launceston. The mission of the HIT Lab AU is to empower people by building advanced human-computer interface technology that will unlock the power of human intelligence, improve quality of life and link minds globally. The Lab is a partner of the world-leading HIT Lab US based at the University of Washington in Seattle, in conjunction with the HIT Lab NZ at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, and shares its goals of developing revolutionary interfaces that transform how people interact with computers and improve the human experience. HIT Lab AU will bring virtual/mixed reality technologies to the Launceston campuses with a focus on design, visualisation, simulation and games. A key development will be collaborative teaching and research programs with schools and disciplines including Computing & Information Systems, Architecture & Design, Visual & Performing Arts, Human Life Sciences, Nursing, Education, Human Movement, and the Australian Maritime College. Special facilities in HIT Lab AU include the VisionSpace, a three-screen immersive stereo projection system enabling groups of people to view and interact intuitively with virtual 3D data, and an Access Grid, a high-end, collaborative communication facility including HD videoconferencing capabilities. For information, contact Professor Young Ju Choi, Interim Director, HIT Lab AU or Mr Chris Carstens, Project Manager, HIT Lab AU.
