The Hybrid Experience Lab (HexLab) explores novel applications and games that sit at the intersection of opposites. Examples include games with a purpose other than pure entertainment; virtual reality with strong physical components; augmented reality situated in outdoor environments; or board games with digital elements. We are investigating how this hybridity shapes the user experience, and how to design effective and engaging hybrid experiences.
HexLab is part of the School of Design in the Jarvis Center of Computing and Digital Media at DePaul University.
