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.
We present the goals and methods of the VIGITIA project in a position paper. The paper will be presented at the VARECo workshop on September 8, 2019, as part of the Mensch und Computer 2019 conference. (more...)
