Virtual Reality (VR)-Anwendungen bieten das Potential besonders realitätsnahen Erlebens in unterschiedlichsten Kontexten. Zunehmend werden sie auch im medizinischen Bereich eingesetzt, um Ressourcen optimal auszuschöpfen und Lernprozesse zu unterstützen. In der Psychotherapie haben sich erste Systeme zur Behandlung von ...

Die Radiologie gilt als technik-affiner Bereich der Medizin und rückt somit auch immerweiter in den Fokus für die Anwendung künstlicher Intelligenz zur Unterstützung der Entscheidungsfindung. Dieser Beitrag fokussiert auf die Perspektiven niedergelassener Radiolog*innen im deutschsprachigen Raum und ihren Vorstellungen ...

It has been shown that the provision of a conversational user interface proves beneficial in many domains. But, there are still many challenges when applied in production areas, e.g. as part of a virtual assistant to support workers in knowledge-intensive maintenance work. Regarding input modalities, touchscreens are ...

The integration of real, physical objects into virtual scenarios enables direct haptic feedback for the user. In addition to the interaction with small, hand-held, hybrid objects, i.e., objects that exist both in the virtual and real environments, it is also possible to interact with more massive objects, such as tables ...

Driver assistance systems are currently evaluated using standardized test procedures as defined, for example, by Euro NCAP, but which only represent a narrow, idealized spectrum of real-life situations. Test conditions hardly take into account the variability that occur in everyday traffic – adverse weather conditions ...

The COVID-19 pandemic poses major challenges for health care systems. Contact tracing apps are being used around the world to help track and break the chain of infection. We conducted a qualitative study with eight older adults (65+) to find out how their lives have been affected by the pandemic. One of the topics covered ...

Taking screenshots is a common way of capturing screen content to share it with others or save it for later. Even though all major desktop operating systems come with a screenshot function, a lot of people also use smartphone cameras to photograph screen contents instead. While users see this method as faster and more ...

Ambient intelligence represents a paradigm in which the user does not react to the environment, but vice versa. Accordingly, smart environments can react to the presence and activities of users and support them unobtrusively from the background. Especially in the context of accessibility, this offers great potential that ...

Interaction becomes increasingly digital, including interactions with public authorities, requiring websites to be accessible for all. The strong focus on written words in digital interactions allows for assistive technology to improve access for many users. However, it might impede usability for users with reading and ...

Machine learning (ML) models have become increasingly important components of many software systems. Therefore, ensuring their privacy and security is a crucial task. Current research mainly focuses on the development of security and privacy methods. However, ML practitioners, as the individuals in charge of translating ...
