Welcome to the Small Artifacts Lab, a.k.a. SMART Lab.

We advance interactive technologies by designing, prototyping, and evaluating novel artifacts that are personal, hands-on, and often small when it comes to the form factors.

Our interests span the methods of building these personal artifacts (through design and interactive fabrication), the scenarios in which they're used (in virtual and augmented reality), and the users who can benefit from them (via assistive and enabling technology).
