Design Thinking
Both businesses and researchers use design thinking to develop new ideas and products. Its characteristics are playfulness, creative methods and unconventional approaches. Use the design thinking tools at the ExpLAB for your group work.
Eye Tracking
Eye tracking is used in research to better understand human behavior by analyzing eye movements. At the ExpLAB, you will not only find a professional eye tracking environment but also tools to measure body functions and facial expression. Once you have completed an introductory course you can use the eye tracking set up for your own research and seminar papers.
