I was delighted to be part of the Geo-Day hosted by the Department of Geodesy and Geoinformation at my home university, TU Wien!
The Department invited several classes of pupils with their teachers to our labs. As Geoinformation group we have drawn the children’s attention by offering Virtual and Augmented Reality experiences and I had the opportunity to tell them more about my research using a full-body motion capture system.
They certainly got interested in how behavior reflects spatial familiarity – and there was also the opportunity to have me doing fun stuff (push-ups, Viennese waltzing) etc. and watch the live-view avatar picking up my body movements!
Here’s the link to our Department website featuring the Geo Day and a nice picture of myself:
