BA Hons, MSc, PhD

Description

Alan Chamberlain is currently a Fellow in the Mixed Reality Lab at Nottingham. He has published numerous papers on many aspects of Human Computer Interaction and has successfully obtained funding for research projects. He is currently interested in Performance in Pervasive Computing, Site Specific Performance, Locative Media and Rural Applications of Pervasive Computing. His main research interests are listed below.

Research interests

His research interests are Human Computer Interaction, Performance Studies, Accessible Design, Art and User Evaluation, Critical interpretations of new technologies and new HCI-based frameworks. I am also interested in Landscape, Location, Personal Narratives and Understandings of Place.
