Theses

The Virtual Reality and Visualization Research Group offers the opportunity to complete research-oriented Bachelor's or Master's theses, in which students work closely with the research assistants to develop and answer a relevant research question matching their personal skills and interests. We offer theses in the areas of Big Data Visualization, Multi-User Virtual Reality, Information Visualization, Scientific Visualization, Real-Time Rendering and Human-Computer Interaction.
