MediaLab
Building 46, 3rd floor
The MediaLab of the Department of Computer Science was set up to enable students to carry out experiments in the field of visual representation or human-computer interaction or to research innovations in these areas with the help of modern tools.
The MediaLab is divided into the units MediaLab UsabilityLab, MediaLab Studio, MediaLab Sandbox and MediaLab Pool. Their premises can be used depending on the situation.
The UsabilityLab is operated in cooperation with the Competence Centre for Human-Computer Interaction(KMCI).
The UsabilityLab is a modern, spacious and flexible usability/UX laboratory for teaching and research, which is also open to questions from industrial practice. User-centred observation studies can be carried out there for a wide range of scenarios: From traditional desktop workstations and mobile devices to interactive installations such as gesture interactions in front of projection screens or smart home scenarios. It can also be used for studies in the fields of consumer research and customer behaviour or social interaction.
Comprehensive software for qualitative and quantitative analyses is used for the evaluations. To support data collection, the laboratory is equipped with high-quality recording technology for synchronous recording of various data streams. For example, audio and video can be recorded using high-resolution, remote-controlled cameras. This is supplemented by the use of professional eye tracking solutions (eye tracking and analysis).
The experiments can be observed live in a separate observation room via a large one-way mirror or transmitted via the cameras to other rooms of the media lab, e.g. to the connected media pool with its 20 workstations, and analysed there.
MediaLab Studio
Räume 46 (E) - 335, 336, 337, 338
Fernsehstudio
Das Fernsehstudio teilt sich in einen Regiebereich und einen Aufnahmebereich. Die verwendete Technik ermöglicht die Produktion von Videoinhalten auf professionellem Niveau.
Fotostudio
Das Fotostudio ist räumlich großzügig angelegt und ermöglicht mit der professionellen Beleuchtungsanlage und dem breit angelegten, variablen Hintergrundbereich hochqualitative Studio- und Trickaufnahmen.
Tonstudio
Im Tonstudio können Sprechaufnahmen zur Kommentierung und Hinterlegung von Videos produziert werden. Die Sprecherkabine und Regieraum grenzen räumlich aneinander, sind aber akustisch voneinander entkoppelt.
