The Berkeley Institute of Design (BiD) fosters a deeply interdisciplinary
approach to the design and realization of rich, interactive environments
which are shaped by the human activities they support. Our lab acknowledges
that design in an era of ubiquitous technologies requires, in addition to
technological advances, a deep understanding of society and the behavior
technology is designed to enhance. As such, our faculty and graduate
students come from a wide variety of backgrounds including electrical
engineering, computer science, bioengineering, art practice, mechanical
engineering, and education. Our lab space, situated in rooms 354 and 360
Hearst Memorial Mining Building, has been outfitted and is continually
evolving to help foster interdisciplinary design.

Please come join us in our lab for a poster session where we will share with
you our work in:

• collaboration tools
• creativity and design
• printable, flexible mechatronics
• visualization
• mobile devices
• education
• technologies for rural/developing countries
