Raphael Wimmer is a PhD student and research/teaching assistant in the Media Informatics Group at the University of Munich, Germany. His research focuses on touch-sensitive, non-planar and flexible surfaces. These can be used for grasp recognition.

Research

In my PhD research I want to find out what meaning the way we touch or grasp an object (e.g. a mobile phone, a tangible UI, a computer mouse) carries, and how this information can improve human-computer interaction. Previously I have done some research on Capacitive Sensing for Human-Computer Interfaces. I have built a high-precision capacitive sensing toolkit ("CapToolKit") for research and prototyping. You can find more information about it on its website.

Projects

avbParser

Max Maurer, one of my students, and I have partially reverse-engineered the .avb file format used by Avid's video editing software. Max has also written a simple parser for .avb files. You can download it from the avbParser project page.

EnterCom

In 2007 I took part in the EnterCom project sponsored by Siemens. We identified interesting developments in organizational communication.
