Technology Focused on Design

The Interactive Product Design Lab (IPDL), part of the School of Industrial Design at Georgia Tech, is a multi-functional space that supports interdisciplinary team-based collaborative research. The lab facilitates courses related to the application of sensor-based technologies for use in everyday products and systems.

The IPDL is unique: it is operated by both faculty and students working together. This combination produces a welcoming space where innovative design thinkers can create and collaborate through projects, initiatives, and research. The IPDL caters to curious minds and gives many students and faculty a space to interact and discover.
