At the Cyprus Interaction Lab (CIL), we promote the design of constructivist learning environments and the implementation of such pedagogy.
The main room of the lab consists of a technology-rich space equipped with top-of-the-art emerging technologies. People can work and experiment with educational robotics from anything as simple as ready-to-use robots to build-it-your-own robots using 3D pens & 3D printers, circuits and sensors, or even programmable humanoid robots like NAO. Practice programming through microprocessors, micro-controllers, and microcomputers and see the robots take life. The room is also equipped with stationary and mobile Virtual Reality systems coupled with motion trackers to immerse people in in-house build experiences or enhance their reality using Augmented Reality glasses. The walls and floor are morphed into interactive surfaces using high-end projectors and tracking cameras, while tables are infused with touch screens to enhance collaboration and communication through various activities.
The Design Thinking Room is equipped with audio-visual technology like projectors, TV, tablets and computers, brainstorming boards, creativity toolkits, accessibility toolkits, and stationary. The room is a networked classroom with microphones, cameras (and more) in which hybrid learning takes place. Students are not only able to participate in the workshops remotely, but they can also be part of the on-site teams using remote desk cameras and microphones. A space where you can co-operatively explore solutions, ask the right questions, and tackle problems as a team.
Our usability room is equipped with top-of-the-art UX equipment. The room is perfect to dive deeper into our tester’s thoughts and actions when it comes to human-computer interaction. Equipment of screen-based eye trackers, mobile eye-trackers, and eye-tracking glasses are some of the examples that allow us to do that. Additionally, the room is equipped with multiple monitors, cameras, and microphones to capture our tester’s facial expressions, actions and thoughts while also using EEG technology to scan brain waves during evaluations.
