Topics for Student Theses

News

• Bachelor students are advised to inform themselves about the combination with a research seminar/lab course, which is offered every semester.

Principal topics

Student theses are assigned by arrangement in the following subject areas, among others:

Areas	Contact person
Augmented Reality, 3D visualization and alternative interaction possibilities in the future Operation Room Possible thesis could include but are not limited to: Preoperative exploration of and interaction with medical image data (e.g. CT) Intraoperative visualization of an augmented patient model Possibilities for interaction with medical image data during surgeries	Mats Ole Ellenberg
Physical Affordances and Natural User Interface in Immersive Environments Possible theses could include but are not limited to: Coordination and Distribution of Interaction and Visualization Between Mobile Devices and Head-Mounted Augmented Reality Investigation of Physical Affordances by Everyday Products and Environments in Augmented Reality (Especially Placements) Empirical User Study Design; Observation, Measurement, and Analysis of User Attitude and Behavior For further individual offers please contact Weizhou Luo via mail.

Meeting in Mulit-User Mixed Reality Spaces Considering human-centered perspectives and inclusion in interpersonal interaction within AR/VR. Key aspects: Design and implementation of visualizations or multimodal feedback to support communication in AR/VR Adapting and enhancing virtual avatars for interpersonal interaction in AR/VR Designing and conducting user studies in multi-user AR/VR, considering factors of social interaction, performance, and usability For further individual offers please contact Katja Krug via mail.	Katja Krug
Explanations and Games Interactive visualizations as explanations for computational models (e.g., AI, formal methods) Application of game mechanics and design to support scientific work (e.g., data annotation)	Julián Méndez
Mobile Information Visualization Use of mobile devices for interactive information visualization; typical key aspects: Combination of mobile devices with other displays/devices, for instance several tablets and smartphones or smartphones and large interactive displays Multi-user or collaborative data analysis Multiple visualization views distributed and coordinated across several devices	Ricardo Langner
Data Visualization for non-planar Displays Research into novel display technologies (e.g., curved, flexible, foldable, spherical, or cube-shaped displays) Development of new techniques for visualizing information on these new form factors Prototyping of novel form factors using MR technology	Julian Baader
