USER INTERFACES &
HUMAN-MACHINE TEAMING
We enable users to achieve their goals by integrating advanced AI algorithms, decision-support tools, and training software within human-centered workflows in useful and efficient ways.
We employ novel user interface technologies, including speech and gesture recognition, computer vision, and multimodal interfaces, to provide natural and intuitive interaction across smart devices, desktop, and mixed-reality applications.
Extended Reality (XR) Interfaces
Mixed reality (MR), virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) applications bring new information and interaction affordances to real-world environments, and enables users to work, train, and collaborate within situations that might otherwise be dangerous or cost-prohibitive. We provide custom XR interaction experiences that can be tailored to individual work and training environments, while applying best-in-class commercial components to reduce deployment costs and training restrictions.

An enhanced communication prototype for crewed–uncrewed teamingHuman-Robot Collaboration and Natural Interfaces
Charles River Analytics develops human-machine interfaces that seamlessly integrate robots into a human operator’s workflow. Natural interfaces fuse advanced speech and gesture recognition, computer vision, augmented reality, and smart devices. These natural interfaces reduce the cognitive burden on operators, increase trust in human-robot teams, and help keep our warfighters safe.
