Under the direction of Nicolas Henchoz, the research conducted at the EPFL+ECAL Lab has covered multiple themes and technologies.


 * Projects in collaboration with differents institution such as 'Livres ouverts' with the museum Photo Elysée, 'Roger Tallon: Archives in Motion' with the Musée des arts décoratifs in Paris, 'Jean Starobinski. Relations critiques' wwith the Swiss National Library, 'Posterworld' with the Museum of Design in Zurich and 'The Montreux Jazz Heritage Lab' with the Montreux Jazz Festival have explored how to enhance the impact of cultural heritage can have on the public, in particular through immersive devices, artificial intelligence and tailored interaction.
 * The contribution of emerging technologies to well-being, particularly through creative biofeedback. Based on measurements of respiration, skin conductance and heart rate variability, the 'Ming Shan Digital Experience' installation provides support for both individual and collective meditation. The installation has been in display in the temple of the Ming Shan Taoist Centre in Switzerland and was the subject of an academic paper at SIGGRAPH in 2021
 * The design of digital services that promote intergenerational relationships and social bonds, such as the Resoli platform.
 * The use of immersive technologies, in particular virtual reality and augmented reality in relation to their cognitive and emotional effects.

From 2016, the scope of the EPFL+ECAL Lab's activities has been extended to all artistic practices that can contribute to innovation. The creation of 45 artists' residencies in the framework of the Horizon 2020 STARTS residencies project, in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou, contributes to clarifying the different forms of collaboration between art and science, with a view to innovation.
