We are happy to welcome a new member to our HCI family in Konstanz: Abdelrahman Zaky has joined us as PhD student and research assistant. Within the SFB-TRR 161, Zaky will focus on researching adaptive user interfaces for MR applications (Project C07: "Real-Time Optimization of XR User Interfaces").

It's great to have you, Zaky!

For the upcoming winter term, we will offer the events listed below. Please mind the starting dates for individual courses.

The nascent field of mixed reality is seeing an ever-increasing need…

„Sie überzeugen mit ihren innovativen und kreativen Ansätzen in der Lehre und stehen stellvertretend für die vielen Lehrenden, die unsere Studierenden täglich begeistern und mit in neue Wissenswelten nehmen.“ – Wissenschaftsministerin Theresia Bauer, Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst Baden-Württemberg (MWK).

For the past few years, one can observe increased interest in combining visualization with new user interface technologies, such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). While immersive visualizations are usually implemented in VR, situated visualizations are grounded in the real world and, therefore, implemented in AR. With a mobile AR display, the user is freed from having to bring the data to the workplace and, instead, may go where the data belongs.

We are happy to announce that we present a poster at the 34th ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST 2021).
