My main task is to make it easy for our scientists to conduct experiments in our existing and future Virtual Reality (VR) setups. This encompasses both the hardware side with our display and tracking technologies as well as the software side where specific software engineering solutions are needed. Necessary software engineering tasks include integration of VR hardware in our visualization software, deployment of new visualization solutions and also development of performant real-time visualization components for specific experiments.

- Real-time Computer Graphics
- Modern game engine technologies (Unity, UDK) and integration into Virtual Reality experimental setups
- Example: UDK flight simulation with haptic feedback [Video]
- Avatars in Virtual Environments
- Modern game engine technologies (Unity, UDK) and integration into Virtual Reality experimental setups
