Stefan Hauswiesner

is a research engineer and PhD student at the Graz University of Technology. He received his master degree in 2009 and is assisting the research at the Institute for Computer Graphics and Vision on the topics of image-based rendering for augmented reality, volume rendering and parallel GPU computing.

Matthias Straka

is working on his PhD thesis, which deals with 3D body scanning and tracking in order to create a virtual dressing room where users can step into and see themselves in a virtual mirror.

Gerhard Reitmayr

is professor for Augmented Reality at the Graz University of Technology. He received his Dipl.-Ing. (2000) and Dr. techn. (2004) degrees from Vienna University of Technology. He worked as a research associate at the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, UK until May 2009 where he was researcher and principal investigator in industry and EC funded projects. Research interests are the development of augmented reality user interfaces, wearable computing, ubiquitous computing environments and the integration of these. Research directions include computer vision techniques for localisation and tracking and interaction methods.

Matthias Rüther

joined the Institute of Computer Graphics and Vision in 2004 as research assistant of Prof. Horst Bischof and is currently senior researcher at the institute. His main research area is computer vision in conjunction with industrial robotics and automation. He is founder and coordinator of the Robot Vision Lab, a research group at ICG, consisting of six Phd students and several diploma students. He holds the lecture "Robot Vision" at Graz University of Technology, and is reviewer for the conferences CVPR, ECCV, ICPR, ICARCV, AAPR, CVWW. Within the last 6 years, he was involved in over 25 research projects, in collaboration with 10 industrial partners and 6 academic institutions.
