👋 Hello Bluesky! We're a DFG-funded, transregional collaborative #research center exploring quantitative methods for #VisualComputing – from computer graphics and vision to visual analytics and human-computer interaction and beyond. Happy to now share our news & ideas on here as well! #firstpost
In our next lecture, we'll dive into the intersection of #GameAI and #ImmersiveAnalytics. How could each support the other? We look forward to hearing about it in Mike Preuss' (@skapedin.bsky.social) lecture "Game AI And Immersive Analytics: Save the World Together?" www.sfbtrr161.de/events_sfbtr...
