Projects
OPPORTUNITY: The aim of the project is to develop mobile systems to recognize human activity with dynamically varying sensor setups. We refer to such systems as opportunistic, since they take advantage of sensing modalities that just happen to be available, rather than forcing to deploy specific, application dependent sensor systems. Homepage: http://www.opportunity-project.eu
SOCIONICAL: There are a number of projects that acknowledge the tight entanglement between social and technical systems. SOCIONICAL differs from these project in that it jointly deals with complex systems at three levels:Interacting social entitiesInteracting technical entitiesInteracting socio-technical entitiesIt is embedded in AmI (Ambient Intelligence) environments, and it aims at providing a user feedback-loop to control global system behavior, and it relies on realistic multimodal data sources.
FACT: This industrial research project with Siemens AG Germany aims at developing systems which are able to manage themselves and adapt to their environment.
Autonomic Peer Systems: This industrial research project with Siemens AG Germany provides a basis for situated spontaneous interaction of mobile devices in decentralized ad-hoc scenarios.
Betreute Bakk-/Masterarbeiten
Personenerkennung an der Gangart mittels Ultraschall-Sensorik (Gait Recognition): Aufgabenstellung: Das Ziel dieser Bakk.-/Diplom-/Masterarbeit ist es, Personenerkennung anhand ihrer Gangart  zu studieren. Dazu ist das ultraschallbasierte Positions- und Orientierungs-Trackingsystem „Intersense IS-900" zu verwenden. Es existieren zwar bereits jetzt diverse Lösungsansätze (meist bild- oder videobasiert), die aber alle noch Verbesserungen bedürfen bzw. unlösbare Nachteile aufweisen.
Ein Kollisionswarngürtel mit Ultraschall-Sensorik zur Distanzbestimmung: Im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit soll ein bestehendes taktiles Raumwahrnehmungssystem (Richtungs- bzw. Distanzinformationen werden mittels in einen Gürtel eingearbeiteten Vibrationselementen übermittelt) um eine Komponente zur „relativen Positionierung" erweitert werden.Die Übermittlung von taktiler Distanzinformation an den Träger des Systems soll mittels in einen Gürtel integrierten Vibrationselementen geschehen.
Auswertung von Personenverhalten im Bürostuhl: Das Ziel dieser Diplomarbeit ist es, eine Datenbank mit Sitzmattendaten unter Zuhilfenahme des Mathematikpaketes MATLAB sowie allfällig notwendiger Zusatztools methodisch auszuwerten und zu analysieren.Datenbank: Eine Datenbank mit Sitzmattendaten eines Bürostuhles wurde bereits aufgebaut und steht zur Verfügung. Daten wurden kontinuierlich über einen Zeitraum von 30 Tagen in einer Portierloge gesammelt (30 Tage á 24 Stunden; 2 Hz Auflösung; die Portierloge war durchgehend besetzt).
Weitere, aktuelle Themen (2010-01-04): Interessierten Studenten können wir eine Menge weiterer Diplomarbeitsthemen anbieten, etwa:Echtfahrexperimente mit Sensordatenaufzeichnung und -auswertung.Erweiterte Studien zur Korrelation von EKG/GPS-Daten (siehe  Andreas Riener, Alois Ferscha, Mohamed Aly: "Heart on the road: HRV analysis for monitoring a driver's affective state" Entwicklung von Fahrsimulationsmodellen in NetLogo, Exodus, SUMO.etc, etc.
The Unconscious Perception (Unbewusste Wahrnehmung von Information): Zwischenmenschliche Kommunikation verwendet Informationen wie Gestik, Mimik, Gesichtsausdruck, Sympathie, etc. um die Entscheidungsfindung in bestimmten Situationen zu erleichtern; in der Mensch-Computer Interaktion  hingegen basieren Entscheidungen auf "harten Fakten". Ein Ziel zukünftiger Systeme könnte es sein, möglichst "menschlich" zu funktionieren und zu reagieren, bspw. durch Übermittlung zusätzlicher, unbewusst wahrgenommener Informationen, die den Benutzer in seiner Handlung beeinflussen.
Mobiles haptisches Feedbacksystem (Portierung auf HTC Hero Smartphone): In herkömmlichen Anwendungen werden Informationen meist über den visuellen oder auditiven Sinnes-kanal übertragen bzw. aufgenommen. Es gibt jedoch Situationen, in denen Sehen oder Hören nicht oder nur eingeschränkt möglich ist, beispielsweise in lauten Industrieumgebungen, durch Verkehrslärm oder Geschrei, wenn es finster, nebelig oder verraucht ist bzw. wenn eine Person nur eingeschränkte Seh- oder Hörfähigkeit besitzt.
Tissue Interface: Aufgabenstellung:Ein romantisches Abendessen für zwei. Sie sitzen gegenüber ihrer Freundin und sind in ein angeregtes Gespräch vertieft und bemerken daß die aktuelle Hintergrundmusik, die Raumbeleuchtung, die Temperatur, etc. nicht mehr optimal mit der momentanen Stimmung übereinstimmt. Das Letzte daß sie in dieser Situation möchten ist aufzustehen, eine passende Musik einzulegen, das Raumthermostat umzustellen, den Lichtdimmer zu bedienen, usw.
DA-2007-05: Actuator-Based Vehicle Control: Im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit soll eine Matte aus Vibratoren, wie sie zb. in Mobiltelefonen zu finden sind, aufgebaut werden. Die einzelnen Vibratorelemente sind über ein Mikrocontrollerinterface (verwendeter Baustein ist auszuwählen) mit dem PC mittels geeigneter Technologie (USB, WLAN, RS232, BlueTooth, etc.) verbunden und über eine entsprechende Steuersoftware anzusprechen. Je eine Matte mit dieser Vibratormatrix (Grösse der Matrix ist festzulegen, zb. 4x4, 5x5, ...
In-house Audio Maintenance: Im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit soll ein System implementiert werden, welches „Wireless Audio-Streaming“-Funktionalitäten zur Verfügung stellt um Aktivlautsprecher im und um das Haus drahtlos mit Musik versorgen zu können. Als Trägertechnologie soll ZigBee zum Einsatz kommen, die ZigBee-Knoten werden lediglich an die Lautsprecher „angesteckt“. Das System ist Benutzeradaptiv – bewegt sich ein ausgewählter Benutzer durch das Haus so folgt ihm „seine“ Musik von Lautsprecher zu Lautsprecher...

Join the "Interaction Modalities for Future Driver-Car Interfaces" group on XING, https://www.xing.com/net/drivercarinteraction

 

  "The focus of this group is multimodal and/or implicit interaction for the automotive domain, a subarea of major interest in the field of pervasive computing and human computer interaction (HCI). The driver of a modern car is, apart from the primary activity of steering the car, performing a lot of secondary and tertiary tasks (operation of driver information and assistance systems like navigation systems, car stereo, HVAC and ACC). Obviously, all the three task categories use the same limited resources of the driver, emphasizing the need for new concepts and solutions for advanced driver-vehicle interfaces that support the intuitive, implicit and efficient use of the resources and at the same time keeping the driver's attention on the main task of driving.

This group is intended to gather and discuss on novel, innovative interaction concepts for automotive applications (such as for example the assessment of the sense of touch as additional channel in automotive user interfaces) with the aim to intensify cooperation/collaboration with researchers and the industry and to specify requirements for future user interfaces in the domain of driver-vehicle interfaces."
