The Lab explores all challenges, which occur when human meets technology. We shape the future of this interaction to seamlessly couple space, where the flat digital world meets the three dimensions we live in.

Basic and Applied Research

We address basic as well as applied research questions with a variety of different human-centered methodologies such as observations, focus groups, design thinking, rapid prototyping, user studies and experimental evaluations.

Exploring Next Realities

The focus of our lab is on novel forms of human-computer interaction in our digital reality as well as the next realities to come, such as the mixed reality-virtuality continuum ranging from physical reality, augmented reality to augmented virtuality and virtually reality as well as  blended reality, artificial reality, mediated reality or diminished reality.
