Research Interest
My research interests include visualization and interaction concepts for medical AR/VR applications. In this area, I am mainly focused on supporting needle-based interventions with AR instrument navigation techniques. Besides, I am also interested in topics on the perception of distances and depth, especially for projector-based AR.
