The Interactive Media Lab Dresden (Chair of Multimedia Technology) at the Institute of Software and Multimedia Technology of the Faculty of Computer Science at TU Dresden was established in April 2012 and is led by Prof. Raimund Dachselt.
The Interactive Media Lab at the Technische Universität Dresden is conducting research primarily in the field of modern Human-Computer Interaction and interactive Information Visualization. Our main focus are natural user interfaces, in particular the development of interaction techniques and data visualization approaches using various interaction modalities (multitouch, pen, gaze, tangibles, gestures) and their combination. Typical research setups are multi-display and Mixed Reality environments as well as wearables for augmenting humans. We apply our basic research results to several application domains, like biology, medicine and cyber-physical systems, and develop domain-specific solutions.
We are pleased to present exciting topics and results of our research and teaching activities. At Research you can find information about the Publications, Research Projects as well as our Partners. In the section Teaching we provide information about current Courses and Thesis Topics of the chair.
Our work on The Concrete Evonne was presented at the 15th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2025) and at the 38th International Workshop on Description Logics (DL 2025) in Iceland and Poland, respectively. This work is a result of our collaboration within the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre 248 (CPEC).
In October, our DFG project “tVISt: Data Visualization Beyond Planar Displays” commenced in collaboration with our French project partners, Anastasia Bezerianos from Université Paris-Saclay, as well as Tobias Isenberg and Petra Isenberg from the Inria Team Aviz.
Recently, Julian Baader and Katja Krug attended the Mensch und Computer conference in Chemnitz. Both contributed a short paper and presented an associated poster.
Over the last two weeks, we were delighted to welcome another distinguished guest to the Interactive Media Lab Dresden: Prof. Can Liu, Professor of Human-Computer Interaction at the City University of Hong Kong.
We recently welcomed a special guest to the IMLD: Prof. Tim Dwyer from the Department of Human Centred Computing at Monash University, Australia. As one of the leading figures in the field of Immersive Analytics, he brought with him extensive expertise and inspiring insights into current research trends that are highly relevant to our own work.
Talks of renowned researchers and people from the industry about human computer interaction, visualization, and visual computing.
