    Begreifbare sich bewegende Objekte in Tisch-basierten Interaktionsszenarien
    (i-com: Vol. 11, No. 2, 2012) Riedenklau, Eckard; Hermann, Thomas; Ritter, Helge
    Begreifbare Interaktion ist ein sich etablierendes Forschungsfeld der Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion. Ein längst noch nicht vollständig untersuchter Zweig dieses Feldes stellen sich selbst bewegende Objekte dar, die völlig neue, bisher nicht erschöpfend untersuchte Interaktionsmöglichkeiten bieten. Vorgestellt werden unter anderem Mechanismen zum Speichern und automatischen Laden von Anordnungen der begreifbaren Objekte, zwei verschiedene Konzepte zur Kommunikation, sowie ein Datenanalysesystem für Blinde und weitere Ansätze für den Einsatz multi-modaler Interaktionstechniken.

    HoloR – A Spatial AR prototyping environment for wide FOV AR applications
    (Mensch und Computer 2018 - Workshopband, 2018) Schwede, Carsten; Hermann, Thomas
    Current augmented reality (AR) glasses suffer from low field-of-view (FOV). AR content is usually created with this limitation in mind and provides primarily small volume experiences. This paper discusses a selection of AR interactions in the context of everyday life that would benefit immensely from an increased FOV. For each proposed experience, we present and discuss a working proof-of-concept implementation that has been created using our spatial AR system to provide the necessary FOV.

    The Cognitive Service Robotics Apartment
    (KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 31, No. 3, 2017) Wrede, Sebastian; Leichsenring, Christian; Holthaus, Patrick; Hermann, Thomas; Wachsmuth, Sven; The CSRA Team
    The emergence of cognitive interaction technology offering intuitive and personalized support for humans in daily routines is essential for the success of future smart environments. Social robotics and ambient assisted living are well-established, active research fields but in the real world the number of smart environments that support humans efficiently on a daily basis is still rather low. We argue that research on ambient intelligence and human–robot interaction needs to be conducted in a strongly interdisciplinary process to facilitate seamless integration of assistance technologies into the users daily lives. With the cognitive service robotics apartment (CSRA), we are developing a novel kind of laboratory following this interdisciplinary approach. It combines a smart home with ambient intelligence functionalities with a cognitive social robot with advanced manipulation capabilities to explore the all day use of cognitive interaction technology for human assistance. This lab in conjunction with our development approach opens up new lines of inquiry and allows us to address new research questions in human–machine, human–agent and human–robot interaction

    The Science, Technology, and Research Network (STARNET) A Searchable Thematic Compilation of Web Resources
    (Environmental Informatics and Systems Research, 2007) Blados, Walter; Cotter, Gladys; Hermann, Thomas
    Our world is threatened by important and complex ecological problems. International alliances in environmental efforts have resulted in a more rapid diffusion of technology. This, in turn, increases pressure on organizations to push forward with technological developments and to take steps to maximize their inclusion into the research and development (R&D) process and the overall advancement and enhancement of environmental and biological sciences and technology. To cope with this vast and rapidly growing amount of data and information that is vital to the success of the innovation, the Information Management Committee (IMC) of the Research Technology Agency (RTA) developed the science, technology and research network (STARNET). The purpose of this network is to facilitate access to worldwide information elements in terms of science, technology and overall research.
