Information about Research Facilities

The institute of media informatics disposes of specially equiped research laboratories to carry out experiments or studies in the domains of human-computer interaction and visual computing.

The access to the rooms is only permitted with the approval of a supervisor or in the context of a specific study. Please contact the responsible person in time.

Driving Simulator - Automotive User Studies

Driving Simulator

In a separate chamber, a driving simulator can be used to risklessly study the behaviour of users of driving assistance systems. High performing servers and an optically reduced ambience provide an easily modifiable foundation for research questions in vogue.

HCI Lab - A Playground to Study Virtual or Augmented Reality and Motion Capturing

VR headset

A test area to offer a greater ease of movement has been implemented in the basement of O27 to promote research in HCI - human-computer interaction. It comprises hardware and various types of VR equipment. A motion capturing system is also built in.

Here, you can develop, test, and carry out explorative studies in virtual or augmented reality.

Pool - Individual Work Stations

Individual Work

High performance computers are essential when it comes to process large quantities of data. To a limited extent, we keep specially equiped work stations at the disposal of student assistents and students in the course of their thesis or applied projects. Some of the machines contain stronger graphic cards for visualisation tasks.
