Thesis: Innovative User Interfaces*

Winter semester 2024/25 - limited to 3-6 months

New types of interfaces are constantly emerging that allow users to interact with systems in a more intuitive, immersive or simply different way. Our goal is to try out such innovative methods and interfaces and determine their benefits for SICK AG. This includes the development of concepts in which such interfaces can be used sensibly, their implementation and evaluation. The thesis can focus on individual areas.
