This week, we happily welcomed Prof. Eva Hornecker from the Human-Computer Interaction group at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar at the Interactive Media Lab.
The Interactive Media Lab Dresden (Chair of Multimedia Technology) at the Institute of Software and Multimedia Technology of the Faculty of Computer Science at TU Dresden was established in April 2012 and is led by Prof. Raimund Dachselt.
The Interactive Media Lab at the Technische Universität Dresden is conducting research primarily in the field of modern Human-Computer Interaction and interactive Information Visualization. Our main focus are natural user interfaces, in particular the development of interaction techniques and data visualization approaches using various interaction modalities (multitouch, pen, gaze, tangibles, gestures) and their combination. Typical research setups are multi-display and Mixed Reality environments as well as wearables for augmenting humans. We apply our basic research results to several application domains, like biology, medicine and cyber-physical systems, and develop domain-specific solutions.
We are pleased to present exciting topics and results of our research and teaching activities. At Research you can find information about the Publications, Research Projects as well as our Partners. In the section Teaching we provide information about current Courses and Thesis Topics of the chair.
The 18th annual ACM SIGGRAPH conference on Motion, Interaction and Games (MIG 2025) took place at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, from December 3rd to 5th. Julián Méndez attended the event to present our invited article on “Immersive Data-Driven Storytelling: Scoping an Emerging Field Through the Lenses of Research, Journalism, and Games”.
This year’s IEEE VIS was held in Vienna, Austria, from November 2nd to 7th. Our Interactive Media Lab Dresden contributed two TVCG journal articles and a poster. Raimund Dachselt and Julián Méndez traveled on-site to present the TVCG articles on augmented dynamic data physicalization and immersive data-driven storytelling.
Our work on The Concrete Evonne was presented at the 15th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2025) and at the 38th International Workshop on Description Logics (DL 2025) in Iceland and Poland, respectively. This work is a result of our collaboration within the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre 248 (CPEC).
In October, our DFG project “tVISt: Data Visualization Beyond Planar Displays” commenced in collaboration with our French project partners, Anastasia Bezerianos from Université Paris-Saclay, as well as Tobias Isenberg and Petra Isenberg from the Inria Team Aviz.
