RED Lab (Reality Experience Design)

The Reality Experience Design (RED) Lab at San Francisco State University is where cutting-edge technology meets human creativity. Based in the Computer Science Department, we are an interdisciplinary research lab focused on advancing the fields of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR/XR), and Usable Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our mission is to enhance human performance and well-being through immersive, interactive, and intuitive experiences. At RED Lab, we don’t just theorize—we design, build, and test real-world systems that push the boundaries of what’s possible. 🔍 What We Do Research at the intersection of XR, AI, and UX Create human-centered tools for learning, connection, and well-being Publish mixed-method (quantitative + qualitative) studies Lead hands-on workshops in usability, app/web design, XR prototyping, and more Support student innovation and entrepreneurial thinking We collaborate across disciplines—technology, psychology, education, design—to create impactful, ethical, and inclusive experiences. 📍 Interested in partnering, exploring, or joining the lab? Let’s connect and shape the future of immersive technology—together.
