Project

Motivation of research issues:

Products become more and more complex and thus cannot be designed anymore by a single engineer. In particular in the case of Product Line Planning (PLP) it is crucial that the work is done within a team. However, up to now these teams have to be collocated in order to perform the task. This results in high expenses for traveling. Recent advances in the field of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) show promising technologies to meet the above mentioned problems.
The goal of the envisioned collaboration is to develop so-called multimodal interfaces by using results from the above mentioned areas. The results will be tested together with industry, but also used to strengthen the envisioned collaboration between both universities, which are at the leading edge in VR/AR and HCI.
