The Interactive Media Lab (IML) is part of the
Human Factors / Ergonomics area of the
Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
at the University of Toronto.
In addition, we collaborate closely with KMDI (Knowledge Media Design Institute). The lab carries out research on the improvement of
user interfaces for information systems. This research includes the
design and testing of innovative multimedia environments and usability
testing of existing interfaces and systems.
IML has a spin-off company called Vocalage Inc. It has been in operation since 2003 to commercialize cutting edge university research and to carry out consulting in the areas of data mining and statistical analysis, usability engineering, and applied research.
