About Media Exhibition Design

In the highly interdisciplinary teaching concept Media Exhibition Design, a unique cooperation between professors from the  University of Konstanz, the  HTWG Konstanz, and the  HFM Trossingen, students learn how to design and implement their own exhibition, with a final exhibition taking place every two years. Together with Prof. Stefan Hauser from the history department at the University of Konstanz and Prof. Eberhard Schlag from the architecture and design faculty at the HTWG Konstanz, SFB-TRR 161 project leader Harald Reiterer designed the teaching concept for Media Exhibition Design in 2013 and has since implemented it with various teaching teams. His expertise on multimodal interaction concepts for mobile computing as well as mixed reality are an integral part of the teaching concept. In 2017, the teaching team was joined by SFB-TRR 161 project leader Falk Schreiber, who contributes his expertise on immersive environments, virtual reality, and interactive visualizations.
