Launched in 2001, the “Mensch und Computer” (MuC) is the most important conference series on human-computer interaction in Europe. This year’s four-day conference at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Karlsruhe/Germany ended today.

My personal highlight was the Workshop on “Ubiquitous Mixed Reality”, which was held for the first time at MuC 2024 and fit perfectly to the Societal XR paradigm. As the first speaker of the workshop day, I was able to present my vision, including a potential application, put them up for discussion and meet colleagues from German and Austrian universities who are working in the same research field.
