Welcome to the Embodiment Lab!
Embodied multimodal interfaces and digital humans, e.g., virtual avatars and agents, become increasingly interesting for various novel human-computer interface paradigms. The EmbodimentLab establishes a Bavarian competence center for the creative development of related application use cases and the necessary technology involved. The EmbodimentLab provides a platform connecting industry with academia to initiate common research and application projects. Non-academic partners team-up with student groups to try-out new ideas for potential future products and applications. The lab supports a broad technology stack including various systems for 3D-body scanning, motion tracking, live animation and Virtual and Augmented Reality.

We've renamed our labs to make them easier to identify. The new naming scheme uses colors that refer to the logo colors of the HCI chair (red-orange), the Media Informatics Group (green) and the Games Engineering Group (blue). A growing number of color related accessories in these rooms will support our choices.
Judith Gerlach, the Bavarian Minister of State for Digital Affairs, visited the chair HCI on Monday, 29th April.
