What is VEMI?
Using hands-on research opportunities paired with our people first philosophy allows students to expand their skills beyond the boundaries of typical academic programming while advancing research education. Many VEMI initiatives are entirely student-driven, and students who work at VEMI (including undergraduates) are encouraged to pursue experimental design, paper authorship, and conference presentations as part of the lab’s research team.
Leaders in Human-Technology Collaboration and Research Education
We specialize in Human-Computer Interaction and universally designed technology that harnesses multi-sensory information based on the integration of a combination of sensory cues (including visual, auditory, touch and haptics, and natural language) to mirror how the brain works.
While interactive technology is the medium for most of our work, humans are at the center of everything we do. At VEMI, our mission is to advance universally designed technology. What do we mean by that? Essentially, it’s about using tech to solve real-world problems across the complex range of human needs.
