Excellent news form our HCI students, which just received two honors.

First, our students of the HCI study received the Best Demo Award at the 12th Workshop of the Special Interest Group on Virtual and Augmented Reality of the German Computer Science Society (GI VR/AR).

More than 120 participants attended the workshop, which was held at Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg in St. Augustin.
