Research Interests: Georg Freitag's research emphasizes the conceptualization and development of human-computer interfaces, extending from current graphical interfaces to future multimodal interactions. Key areas include immersive environments, vibrotactile feedback systems, and sustainable haptic design practices.

Research Group: The mimig research group specializes in creating immersive environments for advanced human-technology interactions, with applications in safety systems, educational simulations, and collaborative prototyping.

Publication Trends: Recent articles highlight advancements in vibrotactile pattern taxonomy (VibTacX), collaborative haptic design tools (TactJam, CollabJam), and multimodal interfaces for specialized contexts like firefighter support and cycling navigation. These works integrate sensory illusions, elastic display interactions, and sustainability principles in haptic design.
