Rehabilitation of people with disabilities has become a popular research domain in HCI leading to the emergence of assistive devices. Assistive technology can help people with certain disabilities to function better and improve their quality of life, helping them work, communicate and learn efficiently while maintaining or improving their capabilities. Focusing on cognitive, sensory and learning disabilities, we are currently working on improving the quality of life of children with autism, dyslexia and vision impairment.
Following are the list of the project done or running by our team.

HCI4D is an exciting and emerging field in under-resourced and under-developed countries. It is imperative that the multicultural environment and the user be kept in mind when designing specifically for under-developed regions as products built for the western world will not necessarily translate successfully in developing countries. The illiteracy rates, especially in terms of technology are usually high and have to be carefully considered as the main goal is to empower the users in rural areas. Building on various HCI philosophies and practices, we use tools such as Design Thinking, Iterative Design and User-Centered Design to create useful and helpful products for rural communities.
