Understanding and Supporting Human Collaboration Using Extended Reality (Bachelor and Master)

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
