Physical-Digital Affordances Group, University of Regensburg
The Physical-Digital Affordances Group at the University of Regensburg explores how the unique affordances of physical and digital media can be combined to enhance knowledge work and workflows (more about our goals).
The group is associated with the Chair of Media Informatics within the Department of Informatics and Data Science. It is led by Dr. Raphael Wimmer.

Application that allows creating screenshots of a computer screen by photographing it with a smartphone.
Measuring and understanding latency of computer systems
An interaction concept for customizable desktop environments and workflows
A Course for Teaching Interactive Hardware Prototyping to Computer Science Students
Absolute position tracking using the raw image of a mouse sensor
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.
