The CHIMe Lab
Welcome to the Communication Between Humans and Interactive Media Lab, located in the Communication Department at Stanford University.

Our laboratory focuses on uncovering fundamental relationships between humans and interactive media. We are interested both in advancing the overall understanding of human psychology and in exploring the practical implications of our discoveries.

CHIMe findings have informed software application design in a variety of contexts, including personal computing, mobile technologies, collaborative work environments, education, e-commerce, and driving.

Currently CHIMe has four areas of concentration: interfaces for automobiles, embodied agents, mobile systems, and techologies for developing-world contexts.
