Professor Holger Regenbrecht has been working in the fields of Virtual and Augmented Reality for over 15 years. He was initiator and manager of the Virtual Reality Laboratory at Bauhaus University Weimar (Germany) and the Mixed Reality Laboratory at DaimlerChrysler Research and Technology (Ulm, Germany).
His research interests include Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Applied Computer Science and Information Technology, (collaborative) Augmented reality, 3D Teleconferencing, psychological aspects of Mixed Reality, three-dimensional user interfaces (3DU) and computer-aided therapy and rehabilitation.
In the Multimedia Systems Research Laboratory (MSLR), some of the projects being undertaken include:
-Support of verbal and non-verbal communication and interaction in 3D teleconferencing environments -Measuring task performance and presence in teleconferencing applications -Development and Test of Virtual and Augmented Reality to be used in psychotherapeutic and rehabilitation applications
He is a member of IEEE, ACM, and igroup.org, and serves as a reviewer and auditor for several conferences, journals, and institutions.
