SFB-TRR 161 at the Science Day of the University of Stuttgart

May 6, 2025; Christina Warren

At the yearly Science Day of the University of Stuttgart, research and teaching come alive. In demonstrations and talks, both adults and children have the opportunity to gain exciting insights into the world of science. 

Together with the Visualization Research Center (VISUS) and the Institute for Visualization and Interactive Systems (VIS), the SFB-TRR 161 will also be opening its doors to the interested public. 

When? Saturday, May 24, 2025, from 1 to 7 pm
Where? Visualization Research Center, Allmandring 19, 70569 Stuttgart

Some highlights from the program:

The future of interaction – Discover Virtual and Augmented Reality
Experience the latest research from the world of visualization up close. With modern devices for virtual and augmented reality, you can explore fascinating digital worlds in various applications. In addition, newly developed haptic feedback devices make it possible to not only see the virtual world, but also feel it. Our team will present current research topics and will be happy to answer your questions.

Art with algorithms
Researchers from the transregional Collaborative Research Centre 161 show that the visualization of complex data sets can not only be useful, but also very aesthetic. With the help of algorithms for dimensionality reduction, visitors transform images from a webcam into nearly artistic portraits that can be printed out and taken home.

Junior Coding Lab
In the Coding Lab of the transregional Collaborative Research Center 161, our young visitors can put their programming skills to the test. LEGO robots are brought to life with a few basic commands. Young programmers can try their hand at their first projects for the Calliope mini® using block-based programming.

The full program can be accessed via the event app.

We look forward to seeing you there!
