The User Lab
Being user-centered begins with creating the right conditions for focusing on the human experience.
And it is to enable this that the User Lab has been set up.
Exploring user experience
The UX Design Process is at the core of our activities.
This iterative process, consisting of planning, exploration, ideation, generation, and evaluation, allows us to create technologies, opportunities, and solutions that meet the needs of people.
Our methodological process is supported by our state-of-the art infrastructure on the Belval campus: the User Lab.
The space comprises several areas devoted to user research, creativity techniques and co-creation along all the stages of the UX Design process. This flexible environment could be adapted in order to meet the needs of the HCI team in terms of research, or for the various projects carried out with our partners.
