Human Centered Design
Where Creativity Meets Innovation.
We are a collective of diverse thinkers reimagining human-technology interactions.
The Department of
Human Centered DesignHuman Centered Design
The Department of Human-Centered Design at IIIT-Delhi stands at the intersection of computing and design, reimagining how technology can enrich human lives. Our work blends strong academic foundations with creativity and critical inquiry.
Through research, teaching, and collaboration, we empower students and scholars to address real-world challenges in interaction design, HCI, and emerging technologies. Our goal is to build technology that is innovative, ethical, and impactful.
Welcome to a new era of HCD, powered by you.
At IIIT-Delhi, we teach computing as a creative medium — and design as a form of engineering. Technology, built for the people who use it.

Areas of practice
Our work cuts across disciplines — from interaction and interface design to HCI, accessibility, AI, and emerging media. Each area below is a lab where faculty and students prototype, research, and build together.
HCD Faculty
Our faculty is dedicated to pioneering innovative solutions for challenges that arise with each advancement.

The three moves behind every project we take on at HCD.
Start with people.
Every project begins with fieldwork — conversations, observations, and time spent with the humans whose lives the work will touch.
Think with your hands.
We learn by making. Sketches, rough code, and physical prototypes settle more questions than any deck, and show us what we actually know.
Work in the open.
Studios, talks, and student chapters keep the thinking public. Early feedback is how ideas — and the people behind them — get sharper.

Mission & vision
India has already established itself as the software hub of the world due to the large number of engineers that it produces. There is now an increasing and persistent demand of having engineers who can develop and design.
Ability to function effectively in teams to accomplish a common goal.
01
Ability to design and implement efficient software solutions using suitable algorithms, data structures, and other computing techniques.
02
Understanding of design principles and techniques and ability to apply these for developing solutions to human/societal problems.
03
Ability to independently investigate a problem which can be solved by an Human Computer Interaction (HCI).
