İTÜ UX Laboratory

The UX Laboratory at Istanbul Technical University (ITU) was founded in 2013 with support from İSTKA and TURKCELL. Located in the Faculty of Computer and Informatics, it serves as a multidisciplinary research center focusing on user experience, human-computer interaction (HCI), and interface design.

Our lab features state-of-the-art equipment including eye-tracking systems, EEG devices, and 3D simulation tools, enabling detailed usability and emotional analysis. We support research in areas such as behavioral science, consumer trends, product innovation, and user-centric design.

We welcome researchers, students, and partners to collaborate with us in shaping the future of human-centered technologies.
