معرفی
Tobias Lunte is a PhD student and research assistant at the University of Oldenburg's Department of Media Informatics and Multimedia Systems. His work focuses on assistive technologies for education, human-computer interaction (HCI), and multimodal interface design, particularly using gaze-tracking and augmented reality (AR) to address reading difficulties in children.
He holds an M.Sc. in Engineering of Socio-Technical Systems (2020) and received the Best Thesis Award in Computer Science by OLDIES e.V. His research integrates real-time gaze behavior analysis to develop adaptive reading assistance tools, collaborating with parents, speech therapists, and educators. He also teaches courses on ethnographic methods, Gestalt principles in design, and quantitative evaluation techniques.
In educational development, Tobias redesigned modules like Interactive Systems (BSc) and Human-Computer Interaction (MSc) into a cohesive HCI teaching framework. He pioneered a remote hardware-oriented Maker's Lab course during the 2020 digital semester, which was nominated for Best Course of 2019/20. His practical projects span physical computing, AR applications, and sensory notification systems for clinical environments.
Scientific Awards:
- Best Thesis Award in Computer Science by OLDIES e.V. (2020)
He supervises student projects in gaze-tracking, physical computing, and ARVR, including notable works like the Puzzle Box prototype, Sherlock AR game system, and Sensor Pet health reminder tool. His research combines technical innovation with pedagogical insights to create user-centered solutions across education and healthcare domains.
