Gernot Rottermanner

Gernot Rottermanner is a Researcher at the Media Computing Research Group within the Department of Media and Digital Technologies at St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences' Institute of Creative\Media/Technologies. He has been working at the institution since September 1, 2013, focusing on Usability Evaluation and User Centered Design within various research projects.

Rottermanner completed his studies in Media Technology and Digital Media Technologies at St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences from 2008 to 2013, following which he worked as a Student Assistant at the same university from 2011 to 2013 before transitioning to his current research role.

His research spans multiple domains including Human-Computer Interaction, Usability Evaluation, Accessibility Technologies, and AI/Machine Learning applications. Rottermanner has made significant contributions to air traffic control systems, accessibility solutions for elderly users, and industrial applications of digital technologies. His work often involves developing and evaluating prototypes for real-world applications, particularly in safety-critical environments and media technology contexts.

Analysis of Rottermanner's recent publications (2019-2024) reveals a strong focus on practical applications of HCI principles across diverse domains. His work demonstrates consistent collaboration with industry partners and academic colleagues, with particular emphasis on user-centered solutions for media technology, air traffic control systems, and industrial automation. The publications show an evolution from foundational usability studies toward more complex AI-integrated systems, reflecting broader trends in the field.

As a member of the Media Computing Research Group, Rottermanner contributes to numerous research projects including TrustAI, FairMedia, ERIKA, comfort:zone, QUAKE-iP, CLUE, and several iterations of CargoRider platforms. His work often bridges theoretical research with practical implementation, particularly in developing user interfaces for specialized contexts such as aviation and industrial manufacturing.
