Our Research Areas

We design human-centred systems addressing real societal needs. Our research spans accessible interaction, VR/AR for education, serious games for health, safe communication tools and privacy-respecting platforms. We also leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance accessibility auditing.

Both Claudio Palazzi and Ombretta Gaggi serve on the Steering Committee of ACM GoodIT.

Mobile Computing

We study how people interact with digital systems, designing intuitive and natural interfaces that improve user experience, efficiency and satisfaction in daily technology use.

Digital accessibility

We design technologies that make digital content accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Our research focuses on accessible web and mobile interfaces, supported by multimodal interaction techniques.

Safe communication tools

We research and build user-centered technologies designed to make the internet a safer place. By integrating rigorous study with practical development, we create solutions that ensure online spaces are accessible, trustworthy, and reliable. Our work is driven by the necessity to provide predictable and secure digital experiences for a diverse global community.

VR & and HCI

We explore immersive technologies and human-computer interaction to create engaging, user-centered experiences. These studies drive the design of intuitive interfaces and virtual environments that enhance learning, training, and entertainment.

Vehicular and satellite networks

We design inclusive technologies that guarantee everyone, regardless of physical, cognitive or sensory abilities, fair access to digital resources and online services, following universal design principles.

Serious games

We explore the integration of artificial intelligence in interactive systems, creating intelligent, adaptive and personalized experiences that amplify human capabilities while keeping the user in control.
