  abstract  = {Virtual reality systems offer substantial potential in supporting decision processes based purely on computer-based representations and simulations. The automotive industry is a prime application domain for such technology, since almost all product parts are available as three-dimensional models. The consideration of ergonomic aspects during assembly tasks, the evaluation of humanmachine interfaces in the car interior, design decision meetings as well as customer presentations serve as but a few examples, wherein the benefit of virtual reality technology is obvious. All these tasks require the involvement of a group of people with different expertises. However, current stereoscopic display systems only provide correct 3D-images for a single user, while other users see a more or less distorted virtual model. This is a major reason why these systems still face limited acceptance in the automotive industry. They need to be operated by experts, who have an advanced understanding of the particular interaction techniques and are aware of the limitations and shortcomings of virtual reality technology. The central idea of this thesis is to investigate the utility of stereoscopic multi-user systems for various stages of the car development process. Such systems provide multiple users with individual and perspectively correct stereoscopic images, which are key features and serve as the premise for the appropriate support of collaborative group processes. The focus of the research is on questions related to various aspects of collaboration in multi-viewer systems such as verbal communication, deictic reference, embodiments and collaborative interaction techniques. The results of this endeavor provide scientific evidence that multi-viewer systems improve the usability of VR-applications for various automotive scenarios, wherein co-located group discussions are necessary. The thesis identifies and discusses the requirements for these scenarios as well as the limitations of applying multi-viewer technology in this context. A particularly important gesture in real-world group discussions is referencing an object by pointing with the hand and the accuracy which can be expected in VR is made evident. A novel two-user seating buck is introduced for the evaluation of ergonomics in a car interior and the requirements on avatar representations for users sitting in a car are identified. Collaborative assembly tasks require high precision. The novel concept of a two-user prop significantly increases the quality of such a simulation in a virtual environment and allows ergonomists to study the strain on workers during an assembly sequence. These findings contribute toward an increased acceptance of VR-technology for collaborative development meetings in the automotive industry and other domains.},

  abstract  = {Replacing a uniform illumination by a high-frequent illumination enhances the contrast of observed and captured images. We modulate spatially and temporally multiplexed (projected) light with reflective or transmissive matter to achieve high dynamic range visualizations of radiological images on printed paper or ePaper, and to boost the optical contrast of images viewed or imaged with light microscopes.},

  abstract  = {We present a simple and cost-efficient way of extending contrast, perceived tonal resolution, and the color space of static hardcopy images, beyond the capabilities of hardcopy devices or low-dynamic range displays alone. A calibrated projector-camera system is applied for automatic registration, scanning and superimposition of hardcopies. We explain how high-dynamic range content can be split for linear devices with different capabilities, how luminance quantization can be optimized with respect to the non-linear response of the human visual system as well as for the discrete nature of the applied modulation devices; and how inverse tone-mapping can be adapted in case only untreated hardcopies and softcopies (such as regular photographs) are available. We believe that our approach has the potential to complement hardcopy-based technologies, such as X-ray prints for filmless imaging, in domains that operate with high quality static image content, like radiology and other medical fields, or astronomy.},

  abstract  = {Seit mehreren Jahren wird im Fachbereich Gestaltung, Studiengang Innenarchitektur 3D-Computergrafik und -animation in Lehrveranstaltungen ausgebildet und in Projekt- und Diplomarbeiten als Darstellungsmedium angewandt. Eine besondere Herausforderung stellen dabei die 3D-Visualisierungen von historischen Geb{\"a}uden dar. Mit den beiden nachfolgenden Beispielen soll der Einsatz und die curricularen Verkn{\"u}pfung der CA-Technologie mit Studienarbeiten und Projekten zum Thema >Denkmalpflege< aufgezeigt werden. Rekonstruktion und Visualisierung des ehemaligen >Jagdschlosses Platte< bei Wiesbaden. Mit Unterst{\"u}tzung einer Kunsthistorikerin wurde in einer Studienarbeit das im Krieg zerst{\"o}rte ehemalige Jagdschloß im Computer nachgebildet. Neben der Darstellung des Geb{\"a}ude{\"a}ußeren und des zentralen Innenbereiches wurde eine Animation {\"u}ber die Triangulierung der klassizistischen Geometrie erstellt. Umnutzung historischer Bausubstanz am Beispiel der ehemaligen Klostersanlage >Schiffenberg< bei Gießen. Im Rahmen einer Projektarbeit wurden mehrer Konzepte entwickelt, Entw{\"u}rfe erstellt und mittels Computeranimationen {\"o}ffentlich pr{\"a}sentiert. In Kooperation mit dem Studiengang Fernsehtechnik (FH-Wiesbaden) wurde von zwei Studenten eine Videodokumentation {\"u}ber den gesamten Projektverlauf erstellt. Neben dem Aufzeigen der Arbeitsprozesse und dem Vorstellen des Lehrkonzeptes f{\"u}r die curriculare Einbindung der CA-Technologie werden aktuelle Studienergebnisse anhand von Videoprojektionen vorgestellt.},
