About

dominik

I’m  a post-doctoral researcher at the Hasso-Plattner-Institut working with Patrick Baudisch in Potsdam, Germany. Before joining the Human Computer Interaction Lab, I received my Ph.D. from  Lancaster University, UK, where I was part of the Embedded Interactive Systems (EIS) group. This page provides an overview of ongoing and past research projects. Please feel free to drop a line: dominik.schmidt@hpi.uni-potsdam.de.

 

Current Research Projects

  • GravitySpace is a new approach to tracking people and objects based on high-resolution, pressure-sensing floor.
  • PICOntrol uses an off-the-shelf handheld projector to remote control physical devices through visible light.
  • Personal Clipboards enable individual copy-and-paste on interactive surfaces.
  • PhoneTouch is a novel technique for integration of mobile phones and interactive surfaces. The technique enables use of phones to select targets on the surface by direct touch.
  • HandsDown enables user identification based on biometric hand contour analysis.
  • IdWristbands use infra-red LED to associate touches to users on multi-touch surfaces
