Extended Reality refers to a spectrum of immersive technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), that blend the physical and digital worlds, offering varying levels of interaction and immersion and are used across several industries.
User Experience Research focuses on understanding how users interact with a product or system, employing various methods like surveys, observations, and usability testing to assess factors like satisfaction, efficiency, and overall experience.
Biosensors are devices that detect and measure biological information, such as heart rate, brain activity, or muscle movements, converting physiological signals into data for monitoring or research purposes, often used in health, fitness, and human-computer interaction studies.
At the Immersive Reality Lab of Hochschule Hamm-Lippstadt (HSHL), we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible with immersive media and technologies.
Our lab is a hub for innovation, focusing on a wide array of immersive technologies including Extended Reality (XR), Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and gaming, alongside applications of these technologies in healthcare.
Our work extends beyond the creation of immersive experiences to encompass user experience design, interaction and usability concepts, and usability engineering.
The vision of DIDYMOS-XR is to enable realistic and dynamic XR applications using AI. Therefore, the project focuses on advancing technologies for the creation of large-scale digital twins that are synchronized with the real world. DIDYMOS-XR explores and develops methods for reconstruction and mapping from heterogeneous inputs, including static and mobile sensors, AI-based data fusion, scene understanding, and rendering. Use Cases will involve cityscape and industry scnearios.
Go to project pageThe overall goal of the collaborative project is to develop, implement, and evaluate a multimodal, interactive assistance system for the digital collection of PROMs (Patient-Reported Outcome Measures) using AI methods in a clinical setting. On an interactional level, the aim is to make the collection of PROMs more accessible through additional modalities. The assistance system should inform about itself and the potential of PROMs collection, and motivate patients to fully answer all questions.
Go to project pageSuccessfully managing the transition brought about by digitalization and demographic changes presents a major challenge for the industrially strong region of South Westphalia and its predominantly small and medium-sized enterprises in the coming decades. The transfer of digitalization expertise from universities to the region is therefore a key factor in overcoming these challenges and maximizing the opportunities for the region. Against this backdrop, the South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences and the HSHL aim to contribute to a future-oriented South Westphalia.
Go to project pageThe DigiOnTrack project is developing a cost-effective, wireless monitoring system for tracks and vehicles, based on simple retrofit solutions. In the long term, the project aims to reduce maintenance costs for rail infrastructure and vehicles through condition-based maintenance planning. The sub-project lays the foundation for the implementation of preventive and predictive maintenance strategies. The system is intended to be capable of detecting potential problems before they occur and recommending preventive measures to minimize downtime and repair costs.
Go to project pageThe ARiadne project aims to develop an innovative augmented reality (AR) navigation application for pedestrians that leverages the capabilities of immersive media. Unlike traditional navigation apps, ARiadne will offer personalized routes based on individual preferences and integrate additional content such as cultural events. The project is a joint project of SWCode UG and Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences, combining industrial expertise with academic research. SWCode UG will focus on developing a precise and resource-efficient localization process, while the university will work on the multimodal user interface. The project demonstrates the versatility of AR technology in various fields. The expected result is a user-friendly, intuitive AR navigation system that improves spatial orientation in complex urban environments and represents a significant advance over current navigation technologies.
