Peter Kán

Peter Kán serves as a Senior Scientist at TU Wien's Faculty of Informatics, Institute of Visual Computing and Human-Centered Technology. He manages the Mixed Reality Laboratory and teaches multiple courses including Mixed Reality Lab (193.169), PhD Seminar (193.083), and various Project courses in Computer Science and Visual Computing.

• PhD in Computer Science from TU Wien
• Research on High-Quality Real-Time Global Illumination in Augmented Reality

His research spans photorealistic rendering, augmented and virtual reality systems, automatic 3D content generation, and embodied conversational agents. Current projects include RE:STOCK INDUSTRY (2024–2027), Circular Twin (2022–2025), and VR Tennis Trainer (2020–2022), funded by FFG and WWTF. His work integrates deep learning with real-time rendering for applications in industrial design, sports training, and accessibility solutions for deaf and hard-of-hearing users.

Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on procedural building design, motion analysis, and accessibility interfaces. Key trends include embodied conversational agents with situation awareness, multi-objective optimization for industrial buildings, and haptic feedback systems. His research bridges computer graphics, human-computer interaction, and practical applications in architecture and healthcare.

Peter Kán has received research funding from Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) and Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF) for projects including Conversational Agents (2023–2024) and Realistic Indoor Path Visualization (2016–2018).

• Supervised 10 theses including Tennis Motion Learning in VR (Sebernegg, 2025) and Embodied Conversational Agents (Rumpelnik, 2023)
• Manages Mixed Reality Laboratory focusing on photorealistic AR/VR systems
• Leads research teams on projects like Circular Twin and RE:STOCK INDUSTRY
