Vision Sciences Society meeting 2019
From 17 to 22 May 2019, the 19th annual meeting of the Vision Science Society (VSS 2019), took place at the TradeWinds Island Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida. Priscilla Balestrucci describes her impressions.
Quantifying Visual Abstraction Quality
Computer graphics is mostly associated with the creation of artificial images that resemble real photographs as close as possible. However, realistic representations usually contain more information than necessary to transmit intended information. Abstract images can be used to convey information more effectively. The field of non-photorealistic rendering focuses on the automatic creation of these expressive illustrations, often inspired by the work of real artists.
Mein BOGY-Praktikum – Simulationen und viele verschiedene Brillen
In der letzten Woche vor den Osterferien besuchte ich den Lehrstuhl Schreiber an der Universität Konstanz, um dort mein BOGY-Praktikum abzuhalten. Vielen Dank nochmal an meine beiden Betreuer und ihre Kollegen für diese spannende Woche!
Marc Ernst talking about “Natural vs. Artificial Intelligence” at Augmented Human 2019
At the this year’s Augmented Human International Conference, Marc O. Ernst from the Applied Cognitive Psychology group at the Ulm University and project investigator in the SFB-TRR 161 held the keynote lecture about Natural vs. Artificial Intelligence.
Bis die Daten gut visualisiert waren, war mein Praktikum leider schon vorbei …
In der Woche vom 25.2 bis zum 1.3 habe ich an der Universität Konstanz, im Bereich Data Analysis & Visualization mein BOGY-Praktikum absolviert. Ich bin der Meinung, dass dieses Praktikum mir sehr viel gebracht hat, da ich bestätigt wurde, dass ich in der Welt der Informatik gut aufgehoben bin. Vielen Dank für die tolle Woche!
Working with MagicLeap One Technology in New Zealand
Between the 11th until 15th of February I attended the Augmented Reality Summer School at the University of Auckland, in New Zealand. There, I had the opportunity to use the MagicLeap One, a sophisticated Optical See-Through Head-Mounted Display (OST-HMD) device. I enjoyed the trip and came back home very inspired to continue with my research activities.
BOGY in der Stuttgarter Visualisierungsforschung
In der Woche vor den Faschingsferien haben wir unser BOGY-Praktikum an der Universität Stuttgart im Sonderforschungsbereich SFB-TRR 161 „Quantifizierung und Visual Computing“ absolviert. Während dieser Zeit wurden uns zahlreiche Einblicke in die verschiedenen Aufgabenbereiche des VISUS sowie die Besonderheiten der Arbeit als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter einer Universität gewährt.
How to Cue and Redirect our Attention by Warning Systems
When designing technical solutions, developers are aware that the attentional capacity of their users is limited. Thus, it is an open question on how our limited attention can be cued and redirected by warning systems. In a recent study, Lewis Chuang and Christiane Glatz tested different warning sounds at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen. The scientists found out that certain sounds redirected our attention away from an ongoing task better than others.
From China to Konstanz – My Two Month Research Stay
During this winter, I spent almost three months at the Multimedia Signal Processing Workgroup led by Prof. Dietmar Saupe at the University of Konstanz. During this stay I had the opportunity to meet many researchers who work in image and video quality assessment and pursue my research work.
