Once again this year, the Interactive Media Lab gave a short presentation of their current and past research projects to the new students of our faculty’s computer science programs.
As part of this year’s ESE, our group gave project presentations in our lab (APB/2046) on 09.10, showing the variety of hardware and use cases we researched.
The Fall 2024 General Assembly for the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre 248 “Foundations of Perspicuous Software Systems”, otherwise known as CPEC (Centre for Perspicuous Computing), took place at our Faculty of Computer Science from Sept. 23rd to 25th.
The ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) took place from May 11-16, 2024, at the Hawaiʻi Convention Center in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. Weizhou Luo attended the conference and successfully presented his work “Exploring Spatial Organization Strategies for Virtual Content in Mixed Reality Environments” at the Doctoral Consortium. He also discussed his poster about this work with other conference attendees.
On April 17 and 18 2024, six researchers of our Interactive Media Lab Dresden visited the Human-Computer Interaction Group of the University of Konstanz. In a joint workshop, we discussed several exciting research topics in the field of mixed reality. The two days were concluded with a public talk from Prof. Raimund Dachselt on the topic “Leaving the Confines of the Desktop: Towards Ubiquitous Data Visualization.”
On December 19, 2023, Marc Satkowski successfully defended his PhD thesis.
With his topic “Understanding Immersive Environments for Visual Data Analysis“, he investigated how future AR applications, specifically presenting information visualizations, need to be designed in a human-centered way.
This year, Fabian Plichta presented our work Growing Green Habits: Unobtrusive Gamified Eco-Feedback to Motivate Sustainable Behavior at the Mensch und Computer 2023 conference, which is one of the largest conference series on human-computer interaction in Europe. The MuC ’23 conference took place at at the OST Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences Campus Rapperswil (SG) at the Zürichsee in Switzerland.
A warm and stormy Long Night of Science has concluded and the Interactive Media Lab once again participated almost in its entirety. We had the chance to present a diverse cross-section of our research to curious visitors across various ages and professions.
Another successful OUTPUT has come to an end and the Interactive Media Lab was once again present with multiple student projects and research prototypes, as well as the recipient of an award for an excellent thesis written at our chair.
The very first German edition of the prestigious ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) took place in Hamburg from April 23 to 28. Eight researchers from the IML team attended the conference and successfully presented a full paper, two Late-Breaking-Work posters and an interactivity demonstration. In addition, Raimund Dachselt served as session chair and Mats Ole Ellenberg as Student Volunteer.
