Eve Hoggan Receives AUFF Nova Grant
Congratulations to Associate Professor Eve Hoggan, who has been awarded an AUFF Nova grant to lead the ABLE (Ability-Based Tailoring of Interactive Devices) project—an innovative research initiative commencing in 2025 and running for three years.
The ABLE project aims to revolutionize the design of interactive devices by moving beyond the limitations of “one size fits all” toward a more inclusive approach. The project will develop a platform that enables users to customize their devices—such as computer mice, VR controllers, surgical tools, or assistive technologies—to meet their unique needs.
By allowing users to tailor both the physical and multimodal input/output properties of their devices, ABLE seeks to address critical challenges in human-computer interaction (HCI). Whether improving accessibility for individuals with impairments or enhancing the performance of professionals in high-stakes environments like surgery, the platform holds immense potential.
The AUFF Nova grant, presented by Aarhus University Research Foundation, recognizes high-quality, pioneering research with the potential for scientific breakthroughs. Through ABLE, Eve Hoggan and her team will introduce new methodologies and perspectives that challenge existing design paradigms and foster greater inclusivity in technology.
