Research Themes

Overview

ex)situ is an Inria research team, joint with the Université Paris-Saclay, that focuses on improving our understanding of interaction in order to reinvent how we design and implement interactive systems. Our focus is always on the user—especially extreme users who push the limits of existing technology and force us to reconsider our fundamental assumptions about interaction design. Emphasizing ext...

Collaboration

Our goal is to support collaboration among people and across systems as a fundamental element of interactive system design

Fundamentals of Interaction

Our goal is to build upon a set of fundamental principles, including instrumental interaction, substrates and co-adaptive systems, to describe, evaluate and generate ideas for novel interactive systems

Human-computer partnerships

Our goal is to create new forms of human-computer partnerships, where people take advantage of computational power while remaining in control

Creativity

Our goal is to support creative professionals, particularly artists, designers, and scientists, who push the limits of interactive technology
