The Human Aspects research area focuses on the intersection of technology and human experience, aiming to understand, design, and improve systems that are more aligned with human needs, abilities, and values. This field explores how people interact with technology, how technology affects human behavior and social dynamics, how systems can be designed to support and enhance human-centered goals, and how technology can be designed so that it is usable and inclusive for people with diverse abilities, including those with disabilities.
