  • 07/2024 - today (Mixed Reality, Art and Culture)
    Science projects at Mirevi Lab (Laboratory of Hochschule Düsseldorf)
    Research and development of a multi-user mixed reality toolkit for the Meta Quest 3 focused on art and culture, reducing the overhead of starting projects from scratch. Allowing the creation of experiences where more than 30 participants can share the same virtual world, experience synchronous storytelling, and interact with both the virtual world and real people.

  • 02/2023 - 07/2023 (Media Computer Science, Master of Science)
    Master thesis (Final grade: 1,0)
    Development of a software to integrate a display into a augmented reality experience. The software was integrated into a Space Invaders-like video game to demonstrate its capabilities.
    Unity
    C#
    ARKit
    On the display a text in another language is shown. Through the tablet the user can see the translation in Augmented Reality. The user can control the ship on the display with movements of the tablet. Moving the tablet left or right will correspondingly move the ship in that direction on the display. Objects are emerging from the display and displayed in Augmented Reality. The user can interact with them.
  • 05/2020 - 07/2020 (Applied Computer Science, Bachelor of Science)
    Bachelor thesis (Final grade: 1,4)
    Development of software for indoor navigation using augmented reality. The software focuses on position recognition and visual guidance, helping users navigate indoor spaces.
    Android Studio
    Java
    ARCore
    Before the navigation can be used, the app needs to detect the floor in the camera image. This visual indication shows that the floor has been found. As an admin user, you can set different waypoints. Here, two waypoints 'Flur' and 'Treppe' are set and logically connected, enabling navigation from one waypoint to another. Non-admin users can search for a destination waypoint. The algorithm will determine the user's current position and navigate them to the specified destination.

About me
Career
Lars Hi, I'm Lars, a software engineer driven by a passion for web-based applications and mixed reality.

My journey began with a love for programming in school, leading me to pursue a degree in applied computer science (B. Sc.) and media computer science (M. Sc.).

I had the opportunity to take the theory from my studies into reality through my work with various universities and private companies.

From learning platforms to mixed reality applications, I thrive on pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

Let's build something incredible together!
