Kristoffer Waldow, M.Sc.
PhD Student @ TH Köln | TUM
Hey there! I am Kris, a PhD candidate at the Technical University of Munich, Human-Centered Computing and
Extended Reality Lab and a research associate at the TH Köln, Computer Graphics research group.
More infos
I am interested is Mixed Reality (MR) technologies, especially human-computer interaction in MR
environments to improve interpersonal communication and accessibility with avatars. I worked in
various funded projects to explore new technologies for human motion capture, avatar-based communication and sign
language based on sensor fusion and machine learning.
Currently I am working in a new research project to explore the boundaries for an authoring tool for Virtual Reality
training simulations of osteosynthesis with haptis feedback und tissue simulation.
Interested in a research coperation? Feel free to contact me any time via e-mail.
As someone with a strong interest in Mixed Reality technologies, I have had the opportunity to delve into
various projects and research during my studies. My journey began with an internship at the University of
Cologne, where I worked with a team investigating avatar-based communication in virtual reality (VR). This
sparked my passion for the field and led me to complete my bachelor's thesis on the creation of a VR
fishtank with life-size avatars animated in real-time through motion capturing.
During my master's studies, I further honed my skills and developed a stage design software with simulated 3D audio in VR. My final master's thesis allowed me to continue exploring the realm of interpersonal communication, this time through avatar-based remote collaboration in augmented reality (AR). I conducted two studies to evaluate the effectiveness of this form of collaboration based on avatar representation.
Since February 2019, I have been working full-time in scientific research and education, continuing to explore the exciting possibilities of Mixed Reality technologies.
While being a PhD candidate, I started to explore new technologies for human motion capturing and sign language based on sensor fusion and machine learning in different funded projects..
