Dr. Jan Kneissler

Current Projects

• Cooperation and communication in intelligent game characters [see the Mario Videos: YouTube2015, YouTube2016, SWR Fernsehen]
• Efficient Grasp Interaction in VR (Unity3D) [Note also the upcoming VR-Workshop in Tübingen]
• Creating a simplistic physics engine [see YouTube]
• Developing intelligent, learning agents by hierarchical sub-goal selection using dynamically acquired forward models [paper at CogSci2016]
• Interaction and visualization technologies [see interactive module overview created automatically from the "Modulhandbuch"-tex files. Currently only for the bachelor Modulhandbuch; master will follow soon]
