Final Theses

At our institute, we constantly offer topics for final theses. The topic suggestions you can find on this page are usually strongly related to our assistants' current research, and thus allow you to work on state-of-the-art technologies. Don't hesitate to contact the responsible assistants regarding the topic suggestions or their research in general.

For general questions on final theses at our institute, please reach out to Ulrik Deneken.

Here is a list of the currently offered topics:

Understanding and Supporting Human Collaboration Using Extended Reality

Extended Reality has the potential to support and enhance human collaboration in various contexts, such as social support, counselling, or knowledge transfer. Bachelor and Master Theses in this context will investigate different facets of human-computer interaction in the XR context to extend our current knowledge on how to best employ and design for these technologies. Possible thesis topics include investigating the effects of different environmental factors on user behavior, designing and evaluating interaction techniques and tasks for shared virtual content, and facilitating asynchronous connection/collaboration in XR.

Students looking to pursue their thesis within this topic area should have or be willing to acquire skills in 3D design and development, preferably using Unity3D, and should be interested in conducting and evaluating an empirical user study.

Suitable for Bachelor and Master theses. Contact person: Dr. rer. nat. Pauline Bimberg

User Behavior Analysis and Modeling in Immersive Environments

Advances in Virtual (VR), Augmented (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) enable immersive and interactive user experiences, while raising key questions about user behavior, and comfort. This thesis topic addresses experimental investigation and modeling of user behavior in immersive systems, with a focus on perceptual, cognitive, and physiological aspects of interaction. Possible research directions include the analysis of audiovisual attention, head and eye movements, interaction behavior, user experience, and adverse effects such as cybersickness. Depending on the thesis scope, the work may involve controlled user studies, behavioral data analysis, and computational modeling of user data in immersive environments.
