What we research
Human Interface Technology
In the HIT Lab of Howest University of Applied Sciences, human interaction with technology takes center stage. The lab measures behavioral and physiological responses and develops adaptive applications. It is equipped with advanced measurement tools such as eye-tracking and EEG equipment, as well as user-friendly systems for real-life settings. Additionally, the lab has access to the latest VR and AR systems. Research is conducted in various sectors such as occupational therapy and Industry 4.0.
What we research
Our expertise
XR applications
We believe that XR technology will shape future interfaces. Together with companies in our network, we develop POCs to showcase the potential of these interfaces to various sectors, including non-technological ones such as psychology, occupational therapy, and pedagogy.
Bio- and neurometry
Tracking the (neuro-)physiological responses of a user helps us to understand the mental processes objectively and measurably. Advanced data science techniques enable us to understand this data and build intelligent systems that understand and adapt to the user.
Eye and motion tracking
By tracking where a person looks and the actions they take during interactions with technology, we aim to understand their needs, create insightful dashboards, and develop adaptive applications.
Our mission and vision
