Projects
Project: Measuring the Latency of Graphics Frameworks (2022 - )
Measuring method for graphics framework latency.
Project: Annotation Extraction with Infrared Light (2020 - )
We modified a flatbed scanner by adding an infrared LED to its light guide. As the ink of most pens is invisible in the infrared spectrum, this scanner can be used to extract handwritten annotations from printed documents.
Project: PAtrack - Tracking physical personnel files in HR (2018 - )
PAtrack is a system for digitally tracking the location of paper files at the HR department of the University of Regensburg.
