Gerhard&Robert@GLAMhack21
Data and visualisation, yesterday, today and tomorrow.
These are the topics that Gerhard Sprung, Robert Strohmaier and the Digital Media Technologies team at FH JOANNEUM’s Information Management degree programme have been dealing with again and again in recent years. Be it through the representation of complex data on the web, in apps or in VR, be it through the visualisation of historical buildings in AR and VR, or the usability of interfaces.
In addition to the technical questions, the aspect of usability and of course the (long-term) effect of applications and services on society and nature is a central point of the considerations and research.
The team is responsible for the implementation of many museum applications (Universalmuseum Joanneum, Kindermuseum Frida and Fred) and interactive visualisations in 2D, 3D and VR.
