 +== Knowledge-enabled PID Controller for 3D Hand Movements in Virtual Environments (BA/MA Thesis) ==
 +
 +Implementing a force-, velocity- and impulse-based PID controller for precise and responsive hand movements in a virtual environment. The virtual environment used in Unreal Engine in combination with Virtual Reality devices. The movements
 +of the human user will be mapped to the virtual hands, and controlled via the implemented PID controllers.
 +The controller should be able to dynamically tune itself depending on the executed actions (opening/closing a drawer or lifting a heavy object) in combination with the physical limitations of the physics engine (dynamic update rates).

 +== Mesh Editing / Mesh Segmentation/Cutting (Student Job / HiWi)== 
 + {{ :research:human_hand_cutting.png?150|}}
  
-In the scope of the CRC Farbige Zustände we use machine-learning techniques and novel high-troughput methods to find new materials. To present the project to the scientific community as well as to the non-scientific audience, we want to visualize its ideas and concepts in terms of interactive web applications. Your task would be to design and develop visualization tools that allow the interaction with the data of the project. You will work with Javascript/AngularJS/NodeJS and MongoDB, so it would be helpful if you already have experience in those fields. Creativity in developing new visualizations is demanded just as much as good programming skills.+ Editing and cutting a human mesh into different parts in Blender Maya (or other).
  
-Perspective of future BA/MA topics in this project! +Requirements:
