Eye tracking is a measurement technique for determining the orientation and viewing direction of an individual’s eyes. It allows for an evaluation of the individual’s gaze and other related information.There is a wide variety of application areas for eye tracking, however the usage in engineeringindustry is still limited. This paper presents a case study for the use of eye tracking in a testingstation for electrical circuit breakers. The case study aims to evaluate the measurement and analysispossible with the Tobii wearable eye tracking system. From the case study, possibilities, limitationsand considerations for eye tracking in industrial settings are identified and discussed. The paperconcludes that while eye tracking can be used to effectively capture and visualize insightfulinformation, it faces major challenges related to subjectivity in analysis and labour intensiveness.
Through constant technical progress, multi-user virtual reality is transforming towards a social activity that is no longer only used by remote users, but also in large-scale location-based experiences. We evaluate the usage of realtime-tracked avatars in co-located business-oriented applications in a "guide-user-scenario" in comparison to audio only instructions. The present study examined the effect of an avatar-guide on the user-related factors of Spatial Presence, Social Presence, User Experience and Task Load in order to propose design guidelines for co-located collaborative immersive virtual environments. Therefore, an application was developed and a user study with 40 participants was conducted in order to compare both guiding techniques of a realtime-tracked avatar guide and a non-visualised guide with otherwise constant conditions. Results reveal that the avatar-guide enhanced and stimulated communicative processes while facilitating interaction possibilities and creating a higher sense of mental immersion for users. Furthermore, the avatar-guide appeared to make the storyline more engaging and exciting while helping users adapt to the medium of virtual reality. Even though no assertion could be made concerning the Task Load factor, the avatar-guide achieved a higher subjective value on User Experience. Due to the results, avatars can be considered valuable social elements in the design of future co-located collaborative virtual environments.

We report about several experiments on applying mixed reality technology in the context of accessing collective memories from atomic bombs, Holocaust and Second World War. We discuss the impact of Virtual Reality, Augmented Virtuality and Augmented Reality for specific memorial locations. We show how to use a virtual studio for demonstrating an augmented reality application for a specific location in a remote session within a video conference. Augmented Virtuality is used to recreate the local environment, thus providing a context and helping the participants recollect emotions related to a certain place. This technique demonstrates the advantages of using virtual (VR) and augmented (AR) reality environments for rapid prototyping and pitching project ideas in a live remote setting.
Namhafte Keynotes, aufschlussreiche Impulsvorträge sowie eine Vielzahl interessanter Workshops: Das war das SDMA2019. Von Building Information Modeling über Fabrikation, Parametrik und Simulation reichten
die Themen bis hin zur Visualisierung und Virtual Reality. Parallel fand an beiden Veranstaltungstagen die umfangreiche Hausmesse mit zahlreichen Ausstellern statt. Es galt das Wissen und die Fähigkeiten aller Besucher
zu bereichern, Neuigkeiten in der Technik zu erkunden und in den Austausch mit Kollegen und Partnern zu treten.
Die Fachgruppe Medieninformatik (FG MI) im Fachbereich Mensch-Computer-Interaktion (FB MCI) der Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI) setzt im Workshop Medieninformatik 2019 die Arbeit an der Curriculums-Empfehlung für Medieninformatik (MI)-Studiengänge fort. Die Identifikation grundlegender medieninformatik-spezifischer Kompetenzen steht zurzeit im Fokus der Arbeit des AK Curriculum der FG MI. Das besondere fachliche Spektrum in der Medieninformatik und Spezialisierungen einzelner MI- sowie MI-verwandter Studiengänge stellt den Arbeitskreis immer wieder vor die Herausforderung zwischen grundlegenden Kompetenzen, die jede*r Medi-eninformatiker*in erwerben soll und fachlichen Vertiefungen zu differenzieren. Um die bisherige Curriculumsarbeit mit der Praxis in den Studiengängen abzugleichen bietet der Workshop der Fachcommunity ein Forum, um sowohl die bisher aufgestellten Kompetenzen zu diskutieren, gegebenenfalls zu ergänzen, als auch MI-spezifische Lehr- und Lernformate vorzustellen, die die Erlangung dieser MI-Kompetenzen fördern. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt den aktuellen Diskussionsstand dar.
