The 3D-GVM research unit led by Prof. Volker Paelke has been newly
created in 2010 to conduct research in the domains of 3D

geospatial data integration, interpretation and visualization. The
central goal of the unit is to investigate the potential

of 3D visualization and interaction to improve communication, analysis
and interaction with geospatial and spatio-temporal

data. To this end the group conducts research in the visualization and
interactive analysis of complex geospatial datasets

and develops and evaluates technologies for  advanced user interface
like mixed reality (MR) and augmented reality (AR) and

adaptive user interfaces for location aware mobile applications.
Applying a user centred design perspective these

technologies are validate in a wide range of geospatial applications.

Candidate profile:
