CHI 2016 in San Jose

From May 7 to May 12, ACM CHI 2016, the largest conference in the field of human-computer interaction, took place in San Jose, California. This year, the Interactive Media Lab Dresden was represented by Wolfgang Büschel. He participated in the Second International Workshop on Interacting with Multi-Device ecologies “in the wild” and presented our position paper with the title Towards Cross-Surface Content Sharing Between Mobile Devices and Large Displays in the Wild. He also presented two posters at the conference: Embodied Interactions for Novel Immersive Presentational Experiences from our former colleague Fabrice Matulic as well as Smart Ubiquitous Projection: Discovering Surfaces for the Projection of Adaptive Content, which was produced in cooperation with the Computer Vision Lab Dresden.

Research project fastvpn started

On February 1, 2016 the BMBF funded joint project fastvpn – Network Infrastructure for Industry 4.0 has started. The project address security in networked industry 4.0. The Interactive Media Lab Dresden investigates novel user interfaces to allow the fast on-site visualization and configuration of security level, network status, or bandwidth.

IML Dresden active at OUTPUT and Long Night of Sciences Dresden

Engaging demos at the Interactive Media Lab Dresden again aroused a great deal of interest at this year’s OUTPUT and Long Night of Sciences.

OUTPUT 2015 took place on Thursday, July 2nd, celebrating its 10th anniversary. Students of the Faculty of Computer Science presented interesting projects that were created in last semester’s courses. We selected four student projects whose exciting results were presented to faculty members, students and guests visiting the lab. Konstantin Klamka presented his project Elasticcon, an elastic controller for everyday use that controlls the computer using various interaction techniques and features. Lars Beck, Maximilian Gräf and Christoph Plagge explained an interactive map exploration technique in front of the display wall. Continue reading
