HCIDL (Human-Centered Interaction Design Lab) focuses on planning and developing human-centered interaction through in-depth research for physical, cognitive, emotional, and socio-cultural aspects of human being.
Research interests include ‘Design Planning' for developing innovative design strategy and concept through user-centered design, contextual inquiry, and future research; ‘User-Interface Design' which focuses on developing and evaluating user-interface design by understanding user's cognitive information process: ‘Emotional Design' for user's emotional satisfaction; ‘Cultural Design' for reflecting user's socio-cultural characteristics on design.
In order for systematic application on research interests, HCIDL develops diverse design tools and software such as video-annotating program for user-observation, remote usability testing program, mouse tracking software, wearable camera for understanding mobile-user's behavior. HCIDL is harnessed with state of art facilities including usability testing room with full equipment of video recording and observation tools, gaze analyzer, and portable ethnographic tool kit for user-observation.
The department of Industrial Design at KAIST started off with the foundation of KIT: Korea Institute of Technology in 1986. With 30 freshmen year students, the faculty was Korea's first design faculty within an engineering school environment. A Master's degree program was established in 1991 followed by a doctorate program in 2002. Since then the department has structured itself with a systematic integration of undergraduate and graduate programs.The department is now preparing to embark as an internationally respected design school, after successfully producing 257 undergraduates and 107 graduates(2003) who are actively contributing the Korea and world design community.
