Hybrid Physical-Digital Spaces (HPDS)

People in countries like the U.S. now spend 87% of their time indoors, with research increasingly indicating that building features (e.g., lighting, materials) can substantially impact human attitudes, behaviors, and health. As part of a multi-institute collaboration that grew out of Stanford and now also spans Dartmouth, Cal Poly, and University of Delaware, this research has several thrusts to study built environments and develop technology that blends digital software with physical infrastructure to support various cognitive, physiological, psychological, and social dimensions of occupant wellness.
