The Interactive Media Lab Dresden (Chair of Multimedia Technology) at the Institute of Software and Multimedia Technology of the Faculty of Computer Science at TU Dresden was established in April 2012 and is led by Prof. Raimund Dachselt.
The Interactive Media Lab at the Technische Universität Dresden is conducting research primarily in the field of modern Human-Computer Interaction and interactive Information Visualization. Our main focus are natural user interfaces, in particular the development of interaction techniques and data visualization approaches using various interaction modalities (multitouch, pen, gaze, tangibles, gestures) and their combination. Typical research setups are multi-display and Mixed Reality environments as well as wearables for augmenting humans. We apply our basic research results to several application domains, like biology, medicine and cyber-physical systems, and develop domain-specific solutions.
We are pleased to present exciting topics and results of our research and teaching activities. At Research you can find information about the Publications, Research Projects as well as our Partners. In the section Teaching we provide information about current Courses and Thesis Topics of the chair.
On October 25th, Dr. Wolfgang Büschel was awarded the dissertation prize of Commerzbank’s Dresden Cultural Foundation for his outstanding doctoral thesis on “Spatial Interaction for Immersive Mixed-Reality Visualizations” .
In his dissertation, Dr. Büschel studied natural interaction possibilities for immersive data visualizations in mixed-reality environments.
From October 21 to 25, this year’s ISMAR conference took place in Seattle, USA. This year, the Interactive Media Lab was represented in person by Katja Krug as a student volunteer and contributing author, together with other members from our lab who attended virtually.
Once again this year, the Interactive Media Lab gave a short presentation of their current and past research projects to the new students of our faculty’s computer science programs.
As part of this year’s ESE, our group gave project presentations in our lab (APB/2046) on 09.10, showing the variety of hardware and use cases we researched.
The Fall 2024 General Assembly for the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre 248 “Foundations of Perspicuous Software Systems”, otherwise known as CPEC (Centre for Perspicuous Computing), took place at our Faculty of Computer Science from Sept. 23rd to 25th.
Marc Satkowski, former PhD student at the Interactive Media Lab Dresden, received the
Cloud&Heat award as part of the OutputDD, an exhibition of the Faculty of Computer Science at Technische Universität Dresden, on June 13th. The award was presented for his outstanding dissertation “Understanding Immersive Environments for Visual Data Analysis“.
Talks of renowned researchers and people from the industry about human computer interaction, visualization, and visual computing.
