• Applicants: Professor Dr. Stephan Diehl; Professor Dr.-Ing. Benjamin Weyers
• Subject Area: Image and Language Processing, Computer Graphics and Visualisation, Human Computer Interaction, Ubiquitous and Wearable Computing ; Software Engineering and Programming Languages
• Term: since 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 497135838

In this project we want to deal with the question how the software development process can be improved using AR and VR technologies. We focus on the debugging task, which plays a crucial role in both the implementation and the maintenance phase of software. Taking the desktop workspace of software developers as a starting point, we want to investigate what added values can be created by extending the workspace, virtualizing physical objects and spaces, and in particular by using situated visualization of information and tools both in the real and virtual space.
