Considering the fact that the in-person social interactions distinguishes movie theaters from other competitive distribution channels of films such as streaming services, our project aims at taking advantage of the co-presence of audience to create more social interactions through an interactive device within the unique physical space of movie theaters so as to deliver a more engaging and fulfilled social moviegoing experience.

Students in Georgia Tech's interdisciplinary MS in Human-Computer Interaction program do multiple group class projects, and a capstone individual project. Some projects are presented as part of other labs listed here; others are showcased in the MS-HCI Project Lab.

The two-year program spans four schools: Industrial Design; Interactive Computing; Literature, Media and Communications (Digital Media Program); and Psychology. Approximately 50 new students enroll each fall semester.
