Institute for Visualization and Interactive Systems

Projects

	Context-Aware Mobile Visualization The aim of this project is to develop a systemintegrated virtualized visualization pipeline to present complex data on mobile devices. One of the key research topics are thereby the design and prototypical implementation of context-aware visualization techniques.
	Context-Based Assistant Systems for People with Sensory Handicaps The goal of this project is to develop and evaluate multi-purpose devices to support the independency and mobility of handicapped users. The devices are designed to make use of local sensor information and combine it with the Nexus World Model to compensate for missing senses.

Expired Projects of the 1st Funding Period

	Abstraction of the Augmented World Model for AR-Applications The long-term aim of this Part Project is to support an easy integration of AR-applications in the Nexus-System.
	Orientation Aid for the Blind The goal of this project is to improve the navigation and orientation possibilities of blind or partially sighted persons using mobile devices, which can unite local sensor information with model information from site-based services.
