Designing and Using Virtuality to Better Serve Us

CSAIL Alliances Podcasts

Our new reality is increasingly one of virtuality. D. Fox Harrell, Ph.D., studies the relationship between computing and imagination for emerging forms of digital media, as well as their social and ethical impact. From videogames that better support diverse user groups to a personalized Universal Hip Hop Museum experience, his work falls into both the design and analysis of virtual technologies. Prof. Harrell and his research group in MIT CSAIL build analytical tools using AI identifying trends and biases and developing new design principles we can apply to our work in industry and academia.
