Welcome to the Human-Computer Interaction Group

Our goal is to conceive, develop and evaluate novel concepts for human-computer interaction that dissolve the user interface as a barrier between real and virtual, and instead allow the user to seamlessly transition between different realities. We call this extended form of interaction “Embodied Cross-Reality Interaction” and the supporting user interfaces “Transitional Interfaces.” Such interfaces support crossing between different realities: from being in the physical world and using our existing cognitive and bodily skills, to gradually moving into a virtual reality with more advanced or “magical” skills, and back again. 

CASCB Newcomer Grant for Interdisciplinary Project ISMiR

We are very excited to be joining the Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour (CASCB) with the interdisciplinary project ISMiR.

We are very excited to be joining the Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour (CASCB) with the interdisciplinary project ISMiR. Bigna Lenggenhager from the Department of Psychology and Tiare Feuchtner have jointly received a CASCB newcomer grant to study the “The influence of Interoceptive Signalling on self-other perception, sensorimotor and physiological synchrony, and behaviour in social interactions within Mixed Reality spaces”.

This truly interdisciplinary project combines expertise from human-computer interaction, psychology, animal behaviour science, economics, and educational science to develop tools to enhance and display interoceptive cues and investigate its effect on group behaviour and physiology using virtual and augmented reality settings. 

We are especially happy to welcome Daniel Fink to this project as PhD student and research assistant in our HCI group. Further, the core team of this project will be completed by Albert Hermanus van der Veer as Postdoc in Cognitive Psychology.

We can’t wait for project kick-off in early 2023 and look forward to exciting research and fruitful cooperations in the CASCB!
