Our research group endeavors to understand how these technologies can be utilized and applied to Consumer web. Initial efforts have focused on Rich Internet Applications (RIA) using resources such as widgets (interactive user controls), Ajax (technology for web interaction), and mashups (compound services that enhance the user experience).

Our research activities span an extensive lineup, from the design and evaluation of new media installations and interfaces to field studies of technology used in varied settings. We investigate how people manipulate and interact with computers and information, how individuals and teams use computers to control systems and processes, and how products should be designed and built to support the nature of such work.

Our Research includes the following areas:

• Cognitive systems
  
• Collaboration apps for enterprises
• Information Visualization
• Usability evaluation methods and usability frameworks
• Accessibility
