This thesis develops a differentiable optics and image simulation framework, with applications in automated lenses and AR/VR design and end-to-end computational imaging with novel camera systems.

Thoughts on how to Effectively Explore Visual Representations in Mixed Reality

B9 L2 R2322 H1

In this talk I will report on various research projects that I carried out with my students to better understand the interaction landscape and will report on lessons we learned. I will focus mostly on AR-based setups with application examples from physical flow visualization, molecular visualization, visualization of particle collisions, biomolecular dynamics in cells, and oceanography. I will show interaction techniques that rely on purely gestural interaction, phones or tablets as input and control devices, and hybrid setups that combine traditional workstations with AR views. I will discuss navigation, data selection, and visualization system control as different interaction tasks. With this overview I aim to provide an understanding of typical challenges in immersive visualization environments and how to address some of these challenges.
