What is WAIVE

The WAIVE Lab is at the cutting edge of making a difference in people's lives. We build technology that works for the humans that use it. Our research pioneers new tools that help people learn, navigate, and communicate.  

Founded in GVSU's College of Computing, WAIVE is a leading group in West Michigan focused on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Accessibility, and Transportation. We are actively recruiting students and collaborators to build strong translational research capacity in Grand Rapids and beyond.
