The UXR Lab focuses solely on applied user experience (UX) research in interactive digital media. Stemming from original research undertaken at the university, the lab takes both academic and commercial research projects. It specializes in helping developers (games, apps, websites, software, simulations) discover and fix usability and user experience issues with their products. The lab has hardware and software resources, as well as more than 10 researchers who work with developers through their entire product lifecycle from concept to post-launch.
