Center for Computational Experience

We innovate technology practices and platforms to enhance everyday, lived human experience. Founded in 2010 with a focus on games and playable media, the Center's mission has grown to encompass a broad range of computationally enabled activities--from VR stroke rehabilitation, to apps that help users track and manage mood, to wearables that assist conversational balance, as well as cutting edge games and playful experiences. Our world-class research faculty combine expertise in engineering, arts, humanities, and design. We draw upon the unique strengths and sensibilities of UC Santa Cruz--a deep concern for wellbeing and social good, closeness to and respect for the natural world, and technological skill (with Silicon Valley less than an hour away).
