He works in the transdisciplinary field of anthropology and design, where he experiments with building a productive interaction between anthropological studies of everyday life and design oriented articulations of new possibilities. The innovation potential of everyday life is one of the areas that Halse explores in his research. He is interested in expanded user-involvement where the user is not simply included in the final stages of the design process to testify to the ease of use of a given product and is instead taken seriously as a dialogue partner for design and development throughout the whole design process.
