Habits Lab

HABits Lab, based in Chicago, IL, is a research facility dedicated to the intersection of technology and human behavior, focusing on the use of wearable cameras to study fine-grained human activities in real-world settings. Led by Dr. Nabil Alshurafa, the lab collaborates with Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and McCormick School of Engineering to advance understanding of human activities and improve the efficacy of machine learning algorithms through innovative research projects.

Through the exploration of passive sensing and activity-oriented partial obfuscation filters, HABits Lab aims to enhance visual confirmation utility in identifying complex human gestures, particularly hand-to-head movements. Their work not only seeks to refine data collection methods but also to uncover the limitations and potential of activity-oriented obfuscation in the realm of human-computer interaction.
