Caves and karst regions are vital freshwater sources and historical archives, yet they remain under-documented and threatened. HADES introduces an integrated digital system for precise 3D capture and anonymized data sharing. Using a specialized field app for LiDAR and photogrammetry, users upload data to a secure web platform accessible to scientists worldwide. This structures and safeguards research for geology, climate, and archaeology while fostering global conservation.

ORVIN enables municipalities to proactively manage urban airspace through participatory governance. By bridging the gap between drone technology and societal integration, it establishes frameworks that ensure public acceptance and safety. Through practical applications like medical drone deliveries in Schwäbisch Gmünd, ORVIN provides urban planners and policymakers with the tools to govern the sky as a vital extension of our public space.

Many members of Generation Z often experience a state of 'mental absence' while physically present in shared spaces, creating a pattern of unfocused interaction driven by digital device usage. Drawing on Erving Goffman’s concepts of civil inattention and non-person treatment, we explore this 'gray area'—an ambiguous space where technology keeps individuals mentally elsewhere despite their physical proximity. Our research investigates how these shifting patterns of attention and communication are reshaping social engagement and how these dynamics interact with our broader culture, environment, and interpersonal relationships.

OrderUp is a mixed media ordering interface for mid-sized restaurants that projects an interactive menu directly onto the table. This allows guests to explore the menu and place orders independently. By combining a user-friendly experience with valuable backend analytics, OrderUp improves customer satisfaction, streamlines service, and ensures transparent, anonymous payments.

With Claas 2.0, we are presenting a comprehensive redesign for one of the world’s leading manufacturers of agricultural machinery. As part of this project, we have rethought the entire tractor purchasing process. Through intensive research, surveys at agricultural universities, and direct exchange with Claas Baden-Württemberg, we have developed an innovative concept.

Have you ever forgotten a smaller task in your life? Or maybe a big event like a Birthday? Cue is a location-based reminder system that combines an interactive ring with a companion app. Its purpose is to assist users in effectively organizing their daily tasks and reminders. The system learns patterns and routines from the user, which it then uses to seamlessly and efficiently integrate tasks such as laundry, cleaning, and shopping into their daily life, all while maintaining discretion, and not intruding the daily life more than necessary.

This project created a board game to teach children about nature and vegetables. The game makes growing vegetables fun and interactive, by simplifying concepts like water, light, and plant compatibility. The game encourages children and their parents to start their own vegetable gardens and enjoy their fresh produce. My role in the project involved developing the overall idea of the game with the group and the layout of the game. To do this, we conducted qualitative research with several parents and two school classes.

This project aimed to design a conceptual product that can help professional photographers edit their pictures quickly. The product is a portable and customizable device that offers the most essential photo editing functions, such as cropping, rotating, brightness, etc. I was responsible for developing the concept and the interaction principles, as well as creating the renderings of the product and a functional prototype.

The number of rocket launches and satellites in space is steadily increasing and has implications for our planet. Space pollution can impact our infrastructure, which relies on satellite services such as weather forecasts, GPS, and communication. It can also complicate or hinder future space missions by blocking access to space or jeopardizing the safety of astronauts. With our exhibit, we aim to inform the public about this crucial topic and highlight the dangers and opportunities it presents.
