About BICAPP

Founded in 2018 thanks to specific fundings for universities, the BICAPP represents a high-level research center gathering academics from the psycholocial and technological areas with a keen interest in Mobile interaction, UX/UI development, Augmented Reality and Mobile user tests.

Bicapp designs solutions for research and businesses utilising the User-Centred Design principles and our psychological knowledges on factors deriving from adopting cutting edge technology.

Given this impetus, the BICAAP research center arises from the shared vision of creating cutting-edge tools to promote psychological research in the development and design of new mobile and wearable technolgies. We are psychologists, technologists, researchers and students; all professionals with the awareness of the benefits that mobile technologies can bring to people’s lives. We love solving problems, taking user needs and technology capabilities into account.
