Welcome

The UbiComp lab (@ National Taiwan University) is interested in designing and creating real systems that demonstrate how future computing technologies can blend into our everyday activities. We are interested in creating digital technology that can engage and excite people into active participation of desirable physical and mental activities at home that are considered healthy, creative, productive, educational, playful, etc. Our goal is to develop digital technology that empowers people, not just supports smart environments.

We are interested in behavior sensing and feedback systems that influence and motivate behavioral changes in people. We are interested in wearable computing that can monitor and produce data about human activities and health. We are interested in exploring sensor system & networking platform, making it easy to create new UbiComp applications. We have a general interest in human-computer interaction, Internet of Things, and mobile computing. We are interested in working with researchers outside of our computer science discipline. We are interested to learn, from their eyes, how ubiquity of data and computing can play a part in doing good for humans.

Check out the lab's project page on our current and past research activities.
