German Pre-CHI 2023 in Dresden

We are happy to announce that the German Pre-CHI 2023 will take place March 30-31 in Dresden. This event aims to provide an opportunity for researchers from Germany to present their accepted CHI papers and discuss them in a smaller circle. Additionally, this is an excellent opportunity for younger researchers to get a taste of the quality of work presented at CHI and network. Therefore, everyone from students to professors interested in HCI is welcome! For more information, please check out or event page at https://imld.de/pre-chi.

IEEE ISMAR 2022 in Singapore

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!
