-Faculty, staff and student researchers working in the Creative Technologies Lab come with a wide range of expertise in fields like interaction design (DXD, UX, UI), human-centered design, spatial experience, product design, and similar. In our teaching we focus on intuitive, effective, and intelligent designs that are visually accurate and perceptually pleasing. Through hands-on engagement, we let out students develop the skills to design interactive experiences, transforming interactions into meaningful engagements. By analyzing and experimenting, students learn to create solutions that adapt to evolving user behaviors and technological demands, shaping how users connect with information in a media-driven world.

 In their studies our students explore existing media formats learning how users engage with digital and physical interfaces and systems. Those media formats define how information, data, interaction, and experiences are presented across digital and physical contexts, merging technology, content, and design. They shape user engagement through diverse applications, from handheld devices and touchscreens to embodied media, interactive installations, and virtual architectures. The study and application of those media formats go beyond technological analysis or development of innovation. Tailored to specific use cases, these formats play a crucial role in determining how information is communicated (storytelling) and offer unique opportunities to create engaging experiences that bridge digital and physical worlds. By doing so, they serve as a tool for education, and exploration.

 These artefacts can also include autonomous systems like robots or reactive exhibits, as well as prototyping artefacts, which explore potential applications of emerging technologies in design and user interaction. By embedding technology into tangible, reactive, and interactive forms, medial artefacts create opportunities for storytelling, exploration, and engagement, making technology accessible and meaningful in both functional and creative contexts.

 ===== 3. Media-based Installations =====
 Media-based installations provide an immersive way to experience content and are often used in public spaces, museums, exhibitions, trade fairs, or other industrial contexts. These installations often utilize touch-sensitive surfaces to ensure a high level of user engagement and enable dynamic interaction with the presented content. Examples include reactive and interactive exhibits that allow users to explore data, media tables designed for collaborative interaction, and industrial applications that for example visualize and control Industry 4.0 processes. Media installations in these contexts create compelling experiences, combining cutting-edge technology with intuitive design to engage audiences in diverse settings.

 Media-enriched spaces transform physical environments into interactive experiences by integrating media content such as live computational visuals, images, videos, or audio. These spaces allow visitors to immerse themselves deeply in a subject, making it accessible from various perspectives. Media-enriched spaces are ideal for enhancing traditional spaces, creating engaging and interactive experiences for educational institutions, showrooms, or thematic exhibitions.
