Welcome to the 2011 Summer Program for Interdisciplinary Research and Education and Emerging Interface Technologies [SPIRE-EIT].

SPIRE-EIT is a 10-week research experiences for undergraduates program that combines classroom training with hands-on research projects. This summer Iowa State University‘s Virtual Reality Applications Center (VRAC) and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) program will welcome 15 REU undergraduates. The REU interns will form 5 research teams led by HCI faculty and Iowa State University graduate students. Over the course of the summer, REU interns will create new technological solutions to challenges in human computer interaction. Students will get to tour many local attractions and participate in a variety of group social activities that will give them a better understanding of life in Iowa.

SPIRE-EIT is sponsored by the National Science Foundation
