Research Work

Currently I'm advising many R&D projects on the use of natural interfaces in Virtual or Augmented Reality Environments, multi-projection, interactive environments and applied science projects in industry, cultural heritage, and entertainment. Some of the past work is published.

My PhD thesis on the Personal Interaction Panel (PIP) interface, a new metaphor for human interaction within Augmented Environments was integrated into the Studierstube Project where it influenced a lot of follow-up projects.

Former Work & Interests

Diploma thesis on "Rendering of natural, athmospheric light phenomena" under the supervision of Michael Gervautz. On my Halos Page you can see the results of this work. This was implemented in POV V2.2, the code is now part of POV V3.0.

Other interests: Natural Phenomena - Virtual Reality - Volume Rendering - Holography
