  • Bachelor Thesis (Final Grade: 1,4)
    05/2020 - 07/2020 (Applied Computer Science, Bachelor of Science)
    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 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!
