Skills
Idea finding
At the beginning there must not be an idea. Also problems
provide a basis for new innovations. I like finding user centered solutions and ideas by using methods and collecting
knowledge.
Concept development
Looking at things from the user‘s point of view and defining
logical connections, is one oft the interesting parts to me.
I like trying to understand complex systems and developing
conclusive concepts.
Interface design
As well as the development of a conclusive concept, I also
like designing consistent user interfaces. Starting with
forming several variations of the content up to little details,
icons and visualizations.

Spheo
Spheo is an interactive health system, which is displayed on a
mirror. The project was created in invention design, so we
positioned it in 2020. This is based on our assumption that
gadgets will automatically measure health-specific data then.
We had a long and intensive concept phase: At the beginning we evaluated structures and processes of our life, the
systems spatial and timed positioning, the presence of the
system in our daily life, user-motivation up to the use of
technology & materials of the prototype and questions
about the handling. We created an evaluation-matrix to
classify the health in the best way. The users health status is
displayed in a specially developed health graph – our central
element –, which is separated in the three categories:
balance, feeding and vital signs. The graph runs radially and
shows a larger excursion in case of worse values.
We created the following scenario: Every morning, the user
steps in front of his bathroom mirror to make his personal
body care. Spheo identifies the user via face tracking and
loads his health data into the system. The user can quickly
reflect his health care and gets tips to improve himself.
My parts were included in the concept development, construction, grid, color-finding, icons, visualizations and finally
making the animations for the prototype.

Operation-Management
Our semester in Interface Design was all about medical
systems. My project partner and me decided to develop a
surgery management solution. We had the chance to visit
the surgery department of the university hospital Tübingen
for two days. During our visit, we’ve found out, that in
contrast to the medical knowledge and equipment, medical
interfaces are very unprogressive but also very complex.
Our aim was to improve their surgery managemet system:
We evaluated preferences and requirements of the system
by the implementation of a semantic differential, user
interviews and observing their workflow. We also analyzed
their common systems, which had a lot of limits and restrictions.
Finally we developed an overview for the 15 operating rooms
and their daily plan in a clearly calendar style. At a glance,

the user can overlook if every surgery is on target. He is able
to react on unpredictable incidents expeditiously. Therefore
we adopted their known color-coding of the surgery-status.
Surgeries can be simply moved by drag and drop. The darkened UI feels less stressful to the eyes.
The project was implemented in a HTML-prototype. Thereby we could develop transitions and a content based program logic.
My parts were included in the user research, concept development, construction, grid, color-finding, icons and other
UI-elements.

Files
Files is a project in application design. Our initial situation
was the problem, that the students - especially at the HfG
- get their lesson data in different ways and platforms.
According to a survey they loose their overview quickly.
Mainly the project was concept driven. First we analyzed the
common data sharing platforms. It was important for us to
develop a system which offers an easy implementation.
Simultaneously we wanted to create an incentive that the
user want to look after his data in a fun way. Storing and
sharing data should happen in the simplest way.
The file-sharing system should be integrated in the network
of the HfG. Every student and teacher has an account
automatically. Every course has to be set up by the IT department. With this basis, the class members can easily
6
upload their data by drag and drop. What the users receive is
a preview of their data. By seeing the content, they has to
decide if the data is important for them or not. These which
are marked as important get automatically saved in a previously set link to an folder.
The data is saved centrally in the university network and can
be retrieved at any time - also if its marked as unimportant.
No loss of data like in Dropbox anymore. Notifications by
mail or push notification can be set individually. In the end of
a semester, the courses can get achieved.
My parts were included in the concept development & design.

Sphere
Sphere was created in the course programming languages.
The target was to make a project with the Leap Motion and
Processing. We experimented with holograms and particles.
The program runs on a display, which stands upside down at
a box cover. The picture is reflected on a diagonal glass pane,
that the user seems to hold the particles in his hands. These
where controlled by the input of specific gestures.
My parts were included in the concept development &
programming.

360°
At a weekend-workshop we learned the basics of the programming language VVVV. We had to connect several
Macs over the network and made a bridge connection of the
content between the Macs.
First, we connected a panorama-picture of the Louvre with
the bridge correction between three Macs. In the second
step, we integrated the Kinect to control the content by
gestures. Therefore the users input of the different body
parts had to be analyzed. We thought about which gestures
would be the most natural for the user and which would
initiate a start and stop.

The Arctic
In interactive communication systems we created a system
about the Arctic. We wanted to give the user an understanding of arctic relevant topics in an explorative way.
The user can navigate trough the 360 degree-view of the
arctic by horizontal touch. Touchable elements which hide
the information are marked with a plus. By activating the
element, the information layer fades in. The user can select
between different specific topics. The design of the initialized element changes by the selection. For example the ship
gets older by moving thought the history.
My parts were included in the concept development, content research, color-finding, grid, graphics and data-visualizations for the prototype.
