About MEI Lab

Multimodal and Embodied Interaction (MEI) Laboratory is a Human-Computer-Interaction research group in the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong.

MEI, 美 in Chinese, means beautiful and elegant. In MEI lab, we aim to create, innovate, and enhance the beauty in human-computer interaction through multimodal and emobided interfaces.

MEI also resembles Magical Experiences and Interfaces. Therefore, with Multimodal and Embodied Interaction, we also aim to provide a magic experiences in digital media. This vision echoes with the famous quote by Arthur C. Clarke, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

While the computer interfaces today are mainly visual and auditory, in MEI, we further envision a “touchable” future for our society. Our research interests include tangible user interfaces, wearable user interfaces, mobile user interfaces, virtual and augmented reality, and the application of these interfaces/technologies in education, entertainment, accessibility, and so on.
