Development and Innovation
Knowledge Lab functions as a dynamic infrastructure for iterative, practice-based development, enabling researchers and institutions to test, examine, and refine the use of digital technologies in a systematic manner.
The lab is designed to host experimental projects, including those concerned with the design of socially responsive AI, sensor integration, and novel applications in educational, domestic, and public contexts.
While the lab does not define the direction of specific project outcomes, it offers an environment tailored to the technical and methodological needs of complex development work. This includes access to equipment for multimodal documentation, the possibility of configuring physical arrangements for prototype testing, and the infrastructural conditions required for interdisciplinary collaboration.
Examples of areas where the lab may provide infrastructural support include:
- Integration and prototyping of AI-driven systems in educational, domestic and work settings
- Testing and refinement of sensor-based technologies (e.g., gaze, audio, spatial tracking)
- Design-based inquiry and participatory development processes
- Evaluation of socio-technical systems with attention to methodological, infrastructural, and ethical dimensions
