Our research vision is to humanise technology.

We are exploring ways of lowering the barriers between technology and humans to improve our lives. To achieve this vision, we are working on developing 'Assistive Augmentations' to fundamentally augment human abilities—physical, cognitive, and perceptual, while ensuring that the technology becomes a natural extension of the person. We believe carefully designed Assistive Augmentations can empower anyone to live more independently again and even extend one's perceptual and cognitive capabilities beyond the ordinary.

We are a small, unique team of interdisciplinary experimenters.

Our team works hard to craft meaningful, beautiful experiences. Specifically, we aim to foster smart, new and stunning experiences that change the way people live and experience the world. Our current application focus includes Assistive Technology (wearables with embedded AI to supporting deaf and blind users), EdTech (new engaging learning platform to make science fun and engaging), as well as applications targeting Well-being (Biofeedback-based Affective Music Generation System).
