Human Computer Interaction (HCI) focuses on how people use technology and how it affects their lives, with a goal of designing the best possible digital tools for human users. At Adobe Research, HCI scientists are inventing new ways to help users learn to use technologies to become more efficient and thoughtful creators, tools to empower people to collaborate on artistic projects, and novel approaches to building creative communities online. This work spans a range of areas at Adobe, including design, photography, video, art, VR and AR, and more.

An experimental new design approach for human-AI co-creation
To go beyond simple AI prompts and outputs, Adobe Researchers, in a paper presented at CHI 2025, outlined a new approach for designing environments where humans and AI can collaborate and iterate together across an entire creative process. The approach infuses AI into the key components of a creative project—the various steps, apps, and procedures that are often siloed—and then knits those components together with AI.
