Prof. Dr. Karol Myszkowski is being honored with the “Outstanding Technical Contributions Award” from the European Association for Computer Graphics. This is the highest technical distinction in the European computer graphics community. Dr. Marc Habermann receives one of the two “Young Researcher Awards,” which annually recognize the most outstanding early-career…
Making virtual worlds tangible is one of the key challenges in the field of human-computer interaction. While vision and hearing are already well integrated into virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR), the sense of touch still lags behind. The Sensorimotor Interaction group, led by Dr. Paul Strohmeier at the…
Max Planck researchers investigate “quantum neural networks” as a building block for more efficient visual-computing models. The “4D Quantum Computer Vision” research group at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Informatics in Saarbrücken, Germany, is investigating the potential of quantum computing for computer-based image processing, also known as visual computing.…
The new graduate school will develop advanced AI methods for basic life sciences research. The school will focus on deepening understanding of biological systems by combining modern biomedical technologies with innovative approaches to artificial intelligence. The aim is to train a new generation of scientists who will develop algorithms that…
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics develop techniques for creating photorealistic, three-dimensional full-body and head avatars. Realistic digital avatars are becoming increasingly relevant, for example in virtual and augmented reality applications, video conferencing, films and computer games, or in medicine. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for…
