The Carnegie Mellon Perceptual Computing Lab is a research facility at Carnegie Mellon University focused on advancing technologies that enable computers to understand and interpret human perception. The lab explores areas such as computer vision, machine learning, and human-computer interaction, aiming to create systems that can recognize gestures, emotions, and other human cues. Researchers at the lab work on various projects that integrate artificial intelligence with perceptual computing. Their work has applications in fields like robotics, virtual reality, and assistive technologies, contributing to the development of more intuitive and responsive computing systems that enhance user experience.
