OUR MISSION AT THE IMMERSIVE DESIGN RESEARCH LAB
Responding to the need for active design research as critical to design practice, while taking on the challenges of sustainability, urbanism, technology, and human value; the Immersive Design Research Lab (IDRL) at Cal State Long Beach engages in a continuous program of interdisciplinary projects – both investigating and initiating behavior in high- and low-tech participatory environments. At the core of this action research is the changing human experience at the intersection of technology and space. The IDRL provides the foundation to create value through the catalytic action of creative endeavors, innovative teaching, and engaged service to the community as collaborative partners with visionary people and organizations.
