Phygital Humanics Lab (PH Lab)

Human-Centered Design, Serious Gaming, Cultural Ergonomics & Experiential Learning

The Phygital Humanics Lab (PH Lab) is an interdisciplinary research incubator operating at the intersection of ergonomics, humanics, and digital interface design. The lab develops phygital interventions and multimodal systems, integrated solutions merging physical ergonomic principles with digital augmentation and mixed reality, to support human performance and well-being in healthcare, learning, and cultural heritage preservation. Grounded in Human-Centered Design (HCD), the Lab translates data into meaningful experiences, such as gamified rehabilitation protocols for elderly and special-needs populations and the digitization of "tactile intelligence" in regional crafts like Chindari weaving, Muga Silk, Kavad storytelling, etc. PH lab aims to achieve an ergonomic symbiosis where digital intelligence augments physical human capability and well-being rather than displacing it. We welcome motivated students and researchers to join us in exploring these frontiers of embodied intelligence and experiential learning.
