BIG::Tech is for Interactive Materials and Digital Fabrication

We are at the forefront in the creation of new interactive materials, technologies, and digital fabrication techniques to build new hardware and software systems that will form the basis of our future interactive devices. Our work also pioneers novel interaction techniques using a variety of input and output modalities, such as mixed reality, ambient technologies or haptic systems.
