We use a combination of Inertial Measurement Units and a video camera to extract full-body human movement.

Extract 3D from 2D? How to obtain realistic human 3D models from 2D pictures.

How to make a computer algorithm "know" that its knowledge is limited.

Not all bytes of a video stream require reliable data transfer — We show how to optimize video streaming using a partially reliable transport.

How to streamline geometry processing operations from the ground up in an intuitive and platform-independent manner.

Optimized layout: The new french standard keyboard.

Robust gradient clock synchronization between direct communicating computers in networks.

Using distributed algorithms, one can reliably generate and distribute a clock signal in very large systems, enabling unfailing synchronization.

To reduce the energy consumption of flat panel displays one needs hardware-implementable algorithms that manage the pixel control. A patented solution is able to give results very close to the optimum.

The technique PrintScreen enables Jürgen Steimle to print touch-displays. The follow-up PrintSense captures also deformation of the sensor and hovering.
