The Media Computing Group, headed by Prof. Dr. Jan Borchers, works in Media Computing and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Grounded in Computer Science, we develop and study new interaction theories, techniques, and systems in areas like interactive audio and video streams, ubiquitous computing environments, multitouch tables and interactive surfaces, tangible and wearable user interfaces, Physical Computing, personal digital fabrication, user interfaces for software development, and HCI design patterns. Our goal is to make the Brave New World of interactive technologies useful by making it usable. With opening the first Fab Lab in Germany and monthly dorkbot meetings we are in close contact with Germanys makers, and take part at makerfaires to get in contact with the european and international maker scene.
