AREAS OF INTEREST


Matilda Kalvings research spans several intriguing areas including Design, AI, Human-Computer Interaction, XR (Extended Reality), and XAI (Explainable AI). Her work involves innovative projects like designing interactive displays,  exploring pervasive displays and tangibleXAI, examining emotional impacts and practical challenges of medical selfies, comparing VR and desktop 360 video museum tours, and augmenting indigenous Sámi exhibitions for interactive digital heritage in museum contexts. Intrigued by the interplay between humans and technology, her curiosity extends beyond these areas, embracing the vast potential of interdisciplinary research where the possibilities for exploration are limitless.
