Principal topics

Currently, student research projects are being awarded in the following areas:

Areas and current offers	Contact person
Scalable Immersive Environments Combining immersive technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) with existing systems and devices (e.g., desktop PCs, tablets, …). Allowing a wide set of users access to Mixed Reality Spaces. The main use case revolves around visual data analysis, especially on multiscale visualizations. The analysis process includes providing the data, visualizing the data, organizing the visualizations, and interacting with the data or the visualizations.	Marc Satkowski
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.	Weizhou Luo
Explainability, Interpretability and Games Possible theses could include but are not limited to: Solutions for explainable and interpretable Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods (e.g., machine learning, description logics, argumentation, model checking) Design and development of games for scientific purposes (e.g., labeling, data preparation, DNA sequencing) Please contact Julián Méndez via mail for more information.	Julián Méndez
Digital Fabrication, Wearables & E-Textiles, Tangible Interaction and Physical Computing Possible thesis could include but are not limited to: Novel digital fabrication approaches. Development of smart fabric sensors and e-textile technologies. Investigation of a design space for on-clothing interactions. Conception and implementation of innovative tangible user interfaces. Realization of body-worn or handheld multiple degrees-of-freedom input devices. For further individual offers please contact Konstantin Klamka via mail.	Konstantin Klamka
Augmented Reality & Everywhere Interaction For further individual offers please contact the responsible person.	Wolfgang Büschel
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
Information exploration and multimedia retrieval based on semantic descriptions For further individual offers please contact the responsible person.	Annett Mitschick

Interested in a Thesis Topic
