ZIH-Kolloquium: "Multi-User Immersive Visualisation - Challenges and Opportunities"

The TU Dresden Immersive Experience Lab (IXLAB) conducts interdisciplinary research into the foundations, technology and applications of immersive media - media in which virtual or remote things are, in some way, experienced as real and present. The creation of shared immersive experiences, in which people see and interact with the same virtual entities, remains a difficult technical challenge. In this talk I discuss different approaches to multi-user immersion, and then describe the development of our own multi-user mixed reality system, in which users collectively inhabit a shared virtual world. After presenting briefly our collaborations and applications in psychotherapy, education, robotics and art, I then turn to the specific challenges and opportunities of immersive multi-user systems for scientific visualisation.

Matthew McGinity is Junior Professor for Immersive Media Design at TU Dresden, where he leads the Immersive Experience Lab. Prior to joining TU Dresden in 2020, he developed immersive media systems in artistic, industrial and academic domains, ranging from immersive museum exhibitions to astronaut training simulations at the European Space Agency. He received his PhD from the University of New South Wales iCinema Centre for Interactive Cinema in 2014.
