Results of the Interdisciplinary Project 2020

As an interdisciplinary project, the three Geomatics Master students Laura Schalbetter, Tianyu Wu and Xavier Brunner have developed an indoor navigation system for Microsoft HoloLens 2. The system was implemented using ESRI CityEngine, Unity, and Microsoft Visual Studio.

Student Project Finished: A Public Gaze-Controlled Campus Map

Four Geomatics Master students have developed a public gaze-controlled campus map in the context of an interdisciplinary project work this autumn semester (Nikolaos Bakogiannis, Katharina Henggeler, Roswita Tschümperlin and Yang Xu).

The system prototype has been tested in a one week field study performed at the Campus Info Point at ETH Hönggerberg with 50 campus visitors.

The results of the thesis will be presented at a public event on Thursday 14 December, 2017 between 17:00 – 18:00 at HIL D 53. During the apéro afterwards, you are welcome to try the system yourself.

We’d like to thank the visitor and information management of ETH Zurich Services (in particular Stephanie Braunwalder) for supporting this project

Master theses started

Two students have started their Master theses in the GeoGazeLab:

Aikaterini Tsampazi, a Master student in Geomatics, will use eye tracking to measure the visual behavior of wayfinders in a virtual environment in her Master thesis titled “Pedestrian Navigation: The use of navigation aids under time pressure in virtual urban environments”. The goal will be to investigate how pedestrian wayfinders behave under time pressure.

Yufan Miao, a Master student in Computational Science from Uppsala University, is visiting our group in spring and summer 2015. He will be working on his Master thesis on “Landmark detection for mobile eye tracking”, co-supervised by our group and the Chair of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (Prof. Schindler). The goal is to apply image processing techniques to outdoor eye tracking videos for the automatic computation of the object of regard.
