On December 12th, 2024, Ricardo Langner successfully defended his dissertation.
The topic of his dissertation “Exploring Mobile Device Interactions for Information Visualization” deals with the question of how mobile devices can be used for visualization use cases beyond personal data exploration.
On November 12th, at Schloss Eckberg, Dr-Ing. Konstantin Klamka was honored with the Innovation Prize of the Industrieclub Sachsen e.V. for his summa cum laude dissertation on “Blending the Material and Digital World for Hybrid Interfaces”.
His dissertation on physical computing addresses hybrid user interfaces that blend the material and digital worlds.
On October 25th, Dr. Wolfgang Büschel was awarded the dissertation prize of Commerzbank’s Dresden Cultural Foundation for his outstanding doctoral thesis on “Spatial Interaction for Immersive Mixed-Reality Visualizations” .
In his dissertation, Dr. Büschel studied natural interaction possibilities for immersive data visualizations in mixed-reality environments.
From October 21 to 25, this year’s ISMAR conference took place in Seattle, USA. This year, the Interactive Media Lab was represented in person by Katja Krug as a student volunteer and contributing author, together with other members from our lab who attended virtually.
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 Long Night Of Science of 2024 saw the participation of our Interactive Media Lab both in the APB building and in front of the Alte Mensa’s main entrance.
At the APB building, our lab hosted a wide variety of demos. We showed CleAR Sight, demonstrating the possibilities of transparent displays in Augmented Reality environments, and the Virtual Reality-assisted Endomersion demo from our work in CeTI.
This year’s OUTPUT hosted several student projects and theses from our Interactive Media Lab, as well as a dissertation award.
During the award ceremony, Dr.-Ing. Marc Satkowski received the Cloud&Heat Dissertationpreis for his excellent dissertation, titled “Understanding Immersive Environments for Visual Data Analysis”. His PhD revolves around the study of human factors for Immersive Analytics in Augmented Reality systems.
From the 16th to the 20th of October, the 22nd IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 2023) was held Sydney, Australia. The ISMAR conference explores exciting contributions in the commercial and research activities involving Augmented, Mixed and Virtual Reality. As part of the conference, and along with other top researchers in the area, Raimund Dachselt co-organized the first Workshop on “Hybrid User Interfaces”.
