The Chair of Media Design

Effective April 1, 2026, Prof. Dr. Matthew McGinity has succeeded Prof. Groh as Chair of the department. About the Chair of Immersive Media Design

Research and project activities at the Chair of Media Design are focused on the theory and methodology of designing interactive systems. The relation to the research environment - offered by the faculty and especially by the Institute for Software and Multimedia Engineering - is the basis of our work. The goal is to train engineers who are able to discover aesthetically relevant areas within information technology and to work on these independently or cooperatively with designers. Media design stands for the use, montage and composition of media or image structures in the service of optimal communication and interaction of humans with technical systems.
