The research activities of the chair of Media Design at the Faculty of Computer Science at TU Dresden are in the field of Visual Engineering (Technische Visualistik). This applied and interdisciplinary research takes place in the intersection of rapidly developing hardware and software systems. The focus is on the user and situation-dependent visualization of data and scenes using innovative technologies such as gesture control, autostereoscopy and eye movement measurement. The Visual Engineering is divided into three fields: Theory formation, prototyping and teaching methodology.
