Topic name: Examination of interaction models of a VR application diversified by target group. Description: Three versions of Textile machine application were developed for three different groups, they are pupils, students, and experts. It is a learning application created to enhance learning. One can interact with the machine, learn from it, and can also perform a simple set-up task on it.

3D- modelling and VR development. Modelling detail and Complex models, creating VR interaction applications. My accomplishments: - Creation of a 3D digital model of the textile machine - Reduction and rigging of a highly polygonal 3D model of a robot vehicle - Texturing and animation of different parts of the textile machine - Designed 30+ mini models & 2 major projects in Blender.

Worked in the area of 3D- modelling and VR development. Modelling of a textile machine as well as the integration of this machine in a VR environment. - Virtual reality, Augmented Reality Blender capabilities: - 3D modelling (destructive and non-destructive) - UV unwrapping - Texturing - Topology - PBR shading and texture baking - Animation Unity Capabilities: - Data transfer from Blender to Unity - Unity XR interaction toolkit (prefabs) - Performance (Light Baking, Draw Calls, ...)

Literature research on various topics, production of thermoset and thermoplastic composites. Gained a versatile insight into various areas of plastics processing and lightweight structural engineering as well as scientific work in general. My task: - Collaboration in the experimental field. - Literature and technology research. - Data evaluation. - Contacting companies in the field of the project topic.

• Worked on various Automation and Robotics projects • Learned about the production machine application • Testing and verify the reliability of the machines My tasks: - Reading drawings and Project execution - Assembly of machines and testing - Handling of ERP software - Support in the production. - Helping junior and Senior authorities. - Independent tasks
