NASA Ames HCI Group

The HCI Group at Ames engages in a unique combination of applied, mission-critical work and innovative research. Applied projects allow us to deploy our work in real use contexts and gather metrics that feed the core research areas of the group. The Applied HCI Group is part of the Human Automation Integration Research Branch in the Human Factors Research and Technology Division.

We advance the field of HCI by developing and testing innovative tools and techniques. Currently our primary research interests include: human performance modeling, mixed initiative planning, and collaborative decision making.

The HCI Group contributes to the development of measurably better NASA software through careful application of HCI methods. We follow an iterative process that consists of user research, interaction design, and usability evaluation. It is commonly assumed that HCI is exclusively focused on the interface. We are focused on the users and their goals in order to build the right tool which means that we are focused on functionality as well as interface.
