Our work at the HIT Lab NZ is focused on providing people with technological support for experiencing various realities to enhance work and daily life. We put people first, looking at the tasks they are trying to accomplish, and then adding an appropriate mix of technology to support these tasks within a given environment.

The keys to our courses and projects are a multidisciplinary focus, collaboration with external companies and teamwork. We encourage students from diverse backgrounds to join the laboratory. Students with expertise in philosophy, economics or sociology are as welcome as students with an engineering degree.

The HIT Lab NZ / Hangarau Tangata, Tangata Hangarau is a dynamic, international, multidisciplinary environment, bringing together people with varying viewpoints to design new ways of supporting people in their everyday lives, be it at work, play, or school.
