The University of Stuttgart's Science Day will take place on May 24, 2025. The Visualization Research Center (VISUS) will also be opening its doors and offering visitors exciting insights into the world of visualization research. Experience in demos and hands-on activities how versatile the possibilities are to interact with visualizations and how they can make visible what would otherwise remain hidden.
Date: 24. Mai 2025
Venue: Visualization Research Center, Allmandring 19, 70569 Stuttgart
Time: 1–7 pm

Our program at VISUS
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.
Smartwatches as remote controls – Gesture interactions with wearables
Smartwatches offer various ways to interact with content, whether through touchscreens or wrist gestures. For instance, you can twist your wrist to scroll down on a list or shake it to return to the main screen. But what if we could make gesture interactions on smartwatches even more fun? Imagine controlling your monitor remotely just by pointing at the screen and moving your wrist, or using wrist movements to steer a car in a racing game.
InnoVisible - More visibility for female researchers at the University of Stuttgart
Get exciting insights into the lives of female researchers at the University of Stuttgart with the augmented reality (AR) app InnoVisible. In addition to a career path that can be followed immersively, the AR application offers information on the most important professional key data as well as private details and an interview with the researcher herself. The app can be tested on Science Day and our team will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Game consoles for visualization research
The living room as a place of research? With the right algorithms and techniques, complex scientific visualizations can also be displayed on common game consoles. In our XBox demo, visitors can explore particle simulations from various research areas with intuitive gamepad control.
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.
Explore digital-real working environments
At the touch table of the SFB-TRR 161, visitors can interactively experience what virtual and mixed reality applications will be used for in future working environments by interactively immersing themselves in research topics relating to possible working tools of the future.
