The HIT Lab NZ | Hangarau Tangata, Tangata Hangarau is a dynamic, international, multidisciplinary environment, bringing together people with varying viewpoints to design new ways of supporting people in their everyday lives, be it at work, play, or school. We take a human-centred approach, starting by considering the people we are looking to support, the tasks they need help with, and the environment they will be in; then we design solutions within these constraints using appropriate advanced technologies.

We are a research centre located within the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Canterbury. We offer Masters and PhD degrees around all aspects of human-interface technology. Most of our work is funded by external partners who engage with us to address problems at the intersection of people and technology.
