Dipl.-Inf. Univ.

Research Interests

• Tangible and table-top interfaces
• Time-critical Augmented Reality
• Automotive Augmented Reality
• Classifying Aurmented Reality
• In preceeding research for my doctoral degree (supervisor Prof. Gudrun Klinker, Ph.D., second advisor Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Heiner Bubb) I focused on incorporating Augmented Reality in cars. Within this topic, four major subjects arose:
• Rapid Prototyping: Developing new display-interaction-concepts for undeveloped technologies requires easy configurable solutions for evaluation
• Concept Evaluation: Testing concept for acceptance and support for the driving task requires massive logging of time and task relevant data
• Technology: Current Head-Up display technology is not capable of stereoscopic rendering. New hardware has to be developed and calibrated
• Spatial Context: Spatial movement in vehicles requires knowledge about other vehicles and obstacles in the drivers environment
