Human-centric technologies is a long-term, strategic research direction that unleashes the power of computing, communication and content to bring about continual emergence of life-changing applications. The CUHK MoE-Microsoft Key Laboratory of Human-Centric Computing and Interface Technologies aims to build cohesion among the core competences common to CUHK and MSRA. We aim to develop this cohesion into a brilliant research program that provides infrastructure and inspiration to our faculty, researchers and students.
