A warm and stormy Long Night of Science has concluded and the Interactive Media Lab once again participated almost in its entirety. We had the chance to present a diverse cross-section of our research to curious visitors across various ages and professions.
Another successful OUTPUT has come to an end and the Interactive Media Lab was once again present with multiple student projects and research prototypes, as well as the recipient of an award for an excellent thesis written at our chair.
The very first German edition of the prestigious ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) took place in Hamburg from April 23 to 28. Eight researchers from the IML team attended the conference and successfully presented a full paper, two Late-Breaking-Work posters and an interactivity demonstration. In addition, Raimund Dachselt served as session chair and Mats Ole Ellenberg as Student Volunteer.
On April 17, 2023, Wolfgang Büschel successfully defended his dissertation with the highest honor summa cum laude.
The topic of his dissertation “Spatial Interaction for Immersive Mixed Reality Visualizations” deals with the question of how spatial interaction can be beneficially used and evaluated in immersive visualizations.
On January 26, 2023, Konstantin Klamka successfully defended his PhD thesis.
His topic Blending the Material and Digital World for Hybrid Interfaces addresses the question, how future user interfaces can be able to provide useful digital functionality while maintaining their physical properties and familiar patterns of use in the real world.
This year, the ISMAR conference took place in Singapore. From October 17 to 21, exciting research papers were presented at this important augmented and mixed reality conference, for the first time also in hybrid form. A record was set both in the number of papers and the number of participants. The Interactive Media Lab was represented again this year: Katja Krug, Marc Satkowski and Wolfgang Büschel attended the conference from our Lab. Katja presented our Paper CleAR Sight: Exploring the Potential of Interacting with Transparent Tablets in Augmented Reality on Wednesday and Marc presented our Paper ABOVE & BELOW: Investigating Ceiling and Floor for Augmented Reality Content Placement on Thursday.
We are looking forward to the next ISMAR, which will take place in Sydney, Australia and hope to be there again in 2023 with numerous research papers!
