BIG::Everyday is for Interaction in Everyday Life

Our focus is on understanding the use of both emerging and everyday technologies in a variety of settings. We employ diverse methods including design, implementation, and deployment; qualitative and quantitative lab and field studies; co-design; and futuring approaches like design fiction. Application areas include health and wellbeing, learning, personal informatics, and civic computing.
