Prof. Dr. Martin Weigel leads the Interactive Novel Technologies Lab at Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen in Gießen, focusing on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) with specializations in Virtual Reality (VR), wearable computing, and haptic interfaces. His work explores novel interaction techniques, motion guidance systems, and on-body interfaces.
Research interests span VR/AR applications, wearable devices, and tactile feedback systems. Key contributions include VRSketchPen (haptic sketching), Tactile Vectors (arm guidance), and DeformWear (wearable deformation input). Recent projects address telepresence robotics in caregiving and drone-human body interaction.
Publications highlight advancements in haptic feedback design, user studies on motion guidance, and multimodal interaction systems. Awards include a Best Paper Award for iSkin (2015), a flexible on-body sensor system. Current lab members include researchers like Kevin Linne and student assistants.
Patents include EP4147830B1 (2025) for tele-robotic systems and EP4120223B1 (2024) for drone landing mechanisms. Advised PhD student Dr. Hesham Elsayed (2023) and oversees a team engaged in cutting-edge HCI research.
