The research carried out by the institute of media informatics aims at optimizing the dialog between human and computer. Therefore, we study mobile and distributed interaction scenarios as well as interactive visualization, data analysis and computer graphics algorithms. Our research results find application in consumer electronics, driver assistance systems, archaeology and biomedical visualization - just to name a few.

The teaching activities cover topics in the areas of human computer interaction and visualization. In addition, we offer basic lectures adapted to the degree programme of media informatics.

The research is carried out in three research groups:

• Research Group Visual Computing
  Prof. Dr Timo Ropinski 
• Research Group Human Computer Interaction
  Prof. Dr Enrico Rukzio
• Research Group Pervasive User Interfaces
  Prof. Dr Michael Weber
