Enrolment | OPAL |
First Lecture: 15.10.2025
The lecture covers topics in the field of interactive media: print grids, web grids, advertising, multimedia systems, animation, metaphors and motifs, graphic semiology and interface theory. Students acquire the ability to methodically design interactive interfaces. Practical exercises provide students with in-depth skills in media design.

First Lecture: 16.10.2025
Tutorials start: 20.10.2025
Foundations of Virtual Reality provides a broad overview of the foundational theories, concepts and technologies involved in virtual reality. Topics covered include:
- Definitions and history of immersive media
- Active and spatial perception - vision, hearing, touch, somatic senses
- Stereo, head-tracked images and head-mounted visual displays
- 3D tracking technologies - noise, filtering, drift
- Sonic and haptic displays
- Interaction, locomotion and navigation in virtual spaces
- Software and application design for real-time VR
- Embodiment, social presence, measuring immersion
Tutorials will provide hands-on introduction to these topics using WebGL, Threejs and Unity.

WiSe 2025-26 Theme: Sonic Augmented Reality
In Situ Binaural Audio (ISBA) is a powerful technique for creating sonic augmented reality experiences. Indeed, under certain conditions, it can be impossible to distinguish virtual sounds from real ones.
It has great potential for creative applications, from theatre to music, journalism, education and gaming, and is a powerful tool for studying aspects of perception and cognition.
In this class we will investigate ISBA from two perspectives.
Firstly, we will design and run a number of experiments to better understand ISBA. Under what conditions does it work well? When does it fail? What kinds of sounds work best? How can we measure it?
Secondly, we will explore possible applications of the technique.
Students will work in small groups to develop prototypes and design experiments.

Diese Lehrveranstaltung legt den Fokus auf die Durchführung der Veranstaltung OUTPUT.DD - die Projektschau der Fakultät Informatik. Zum 20. Mal präsentiert sich im kommenden Jahr die Fakultät Informatik mit dem bunten Format OUTPUT.DD. In vergangenen Jahren wurden neue Formate in die Veranstaltung integriert: Science Slam, Einreichung von Postern und das OUTPUT-Kino. Nun heißt es, diese neuen Formate zu verstetigen und spannende Inhalte zu generieren. Diese generiert ihr natürlich nicht selbst, sondern versucht die Forschenden der Fakultät als Beteiligte durch spannende und außergewöhnliche Akquisetätigkeiten zur Teilnahme zu gewinnen. Es ist also Kreativität, Teamgeist und Engagement gefragt!
Was ist OUTPUT.DD?
Ergebnisse aus Lehre und Forschung von Studenten und Mitarbeitern werden einer breiten Öffentlichkeit gezeigt. Die Besucher erwarten Installationen, Workshops, Vorträge, Präsentationen und Ausstellungen zum Entdecken, Erleben und Erforschen. Daneben bietet OUTPUT.DD die Möglichkeit, mit ansässigen Firmen über spannende Forschungsfragen ins Gespräch zu kommen.
Schwerpunkte:
- Akquise der fakultätsinternen Projekte / Einblick in die aktuelle Forschung an der Informatikfakultät
- Werbung für die Veranstaltung durch Printmedien und auf Social Media
- Veranstaltungsplanung / -management
- Veranstaltungsdesign / Ausstellungsdesign
