R&D

UXLabs research and development program focuses on human-information interaction, in particular the challenges involved in searching, navigating and sense-making within complex information spaces. This program has three primary goals:

  • investigation of novel methods for extracting structure and meaning from unstructured information sources
  • development of new interaction and visualisation techniques for exploring complex information spaces
  • empirical studies of human information-seeking behaviour, in particular the user experience of exploratory search and knowledge discovery.
