UpnaLab: Future Interactive Devices
We are a research group based on the Public University of Navarre (Spain, Pamplona). We combine computer science, chemistry, electronics, optics and/or acoustics with technology to create novel interactive devices.
Research Expertise
- Acoustic Levitation and Directional Audio
- Virtual and Augmented Reality
- Volumetric Displays
- Sensors and actuator for HCI and Haptics
- Creativity & Fabrication Technologies
Our Values
Curiosity Driven
Deep inside, curiosity is the main drive. Our reason for doing research is to see what nobody has seen before.
Pragmatic Multidisciplinarity
Computer Science, Chemistry, Electronics, Optics or Acoustics are all tools that you need to exploit to realize the most innovative ideas.
Demos and Open Science
We share how to build new devices through videos, open instructions and hands-on demonstrations.
Funding & Institutional Sponsors
Our research is made possible thanks to competitive European and regional research grants.
