About Design Informatics, DDI and ImaginationLancaster

In the Institute for Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, we design systems for better human data interaction, in diverse settings such as health, culture, mobility and finance. We explore design from, with, and by data: the central concern is the design of flows of data which sustain and enhance human values. Relevant technologies range from the Internet of things, through blockchains, to robotics, speech recognition, data visualization, interaction design, and social computing.
