Your tasks?

• As a Master's student (m/f/x), you will be immersed in an exciting research field focusing on in-car XR technologies. You will explore the state-of-the-art and conduct a structured literature review.

• For your Master's thesis, you will have the opportunity to concentrate on one of the following topics:

• Investigating in-car AR/VR text input for dynamic environments

• Exploring motion sickness mitigation approaches for in-car AR/VR in moving vehicles

• Improving the precision and reducing the error rate of in-car AR/VR interactions through deep learning

• Regardless of the chosen topic, your responsibilities will include designing interactive XR concepts in Unity (C#), developing prototypes, and iteratively improving them – from initial feasibility studies to a study-ready build.

• You will plan and conduct user studies in real in-car passenger scenarios, including study design, metrics, and analysis.

• By documenting your methods and results in your Master's thesis and assisting in the preparation of a scientific publication, you will contribute to making your research accessible to a broad audience.

• Depending on your chosen focus, you can investigate and develop innovative approaches to reduce motion sickness in in-car AR/VR applications in moving vehicles, or optimize the precision of in-car AR/VR interactions by using deep learning methods, reduce the error rate, and thus make a significant contribution to improving the user experience

Your profile?

• You are an enrolled Master's student (m/f/x) in computer science, media informatics, human-computer interaction, or a related field of study, and you have a solid knowledge of Unity and C#.
