Team SIPLAB

In the SIPLAB at ETH Zürich, we're a cross-disciplinary research group in computational interaction, physical computing, and mobile health. Our work straddles human-computer interaction, virtual reality, ubiquitous computing, wearables, and applied machine learning. We are part of the Department of Computer Science (D-INFK) and affiliated with the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (D-ITET).
