INTELLIGENT PERCEPTUAL DESIGN

Human-centered artificial intelligence (AI) & extended-reality (XR) methods for design evaluation, spatial perception, creativity, and design education

AS A RESEARCH TEAM

We build human-centered artificial intelligence (AI) and extended-reality (XR) methods

to study how people experience spaces, create design ideas, and learn through technology.

MISSION

IPD advances spatial experience research, design creativity, and accessible technology-enhanced design education by informing design practice, promoting human-centered AI/XR research methods, and democratizing emerging technologies in design learning.

INFORM

Inform design decisions with evidence about perception, navigation, and occupant experience.
