Data Visualization on Small Displays - assigned

The objective of this Praktikum or Bachelor's Thesis is to explore how sensor readings, such as energy data, can be displayed on small devices (e.g., 240 x 240 pixels) to offer users interesting information on small gadgets in their daily lives.

The topic may also be expanded into a master's thesis if applicable.

Programming microcontrollers using the Arduino IDE and relevant display libraries will be essential for this project.

Interaction Logger for User Studies - available

When evaluating interactive applications such as web applications, mobile apps, smart IoT gadgets, etc., the interactions of the users play a crucial role. To be able to analyze these within user studies, they must be logged (e.g., by calling a URL on a study server, provided the interactive application is connected to the Internet). Later, this information becomes invaluable in research contexts.

The goal of this work is to develop an interaction logger for user studies as a web application (technology stack of your choice). The project can be conducted as a bachelor’s thesis, master’s thesis, or "Informatik Praktikum". For the latter, a concept should be developed as an interactive prototype. For a bachelor’s or master’s thesis, interviews with (professional) developers and researchers should first be conducted to determine their needs when logging in the context of user studies, and these needs should then be implemented as a prototype.

This work is suitable for students with an interest in user research and web development.

Visualization of the Problem Space of Data-Driven Services - available

The goal of this bachelor's thesis or "Informatik Praktikum" is to create an (interactive) visualization that depicts the problem space and possibilities surrounding energy data in the development of innovative applications. In recent years, there have been intensive efforts to centralize the consumption data of energy consumers in Europe into shared data-spaces. This has led to a landscape with a variety of innovative business models and use cases.

The work is divided into two parts. First, the problem space needs to be explored. We have conducted and transcribed a series of interviews. These documents need to be evaluated, and if necessary, supplementary literature research should be conducted.
In the second step, the findings should be visualized, for example, using D3.js, although the choice of technology is ultimately up to the student.

This work is particularly suitable for students who want to dive into qualitative data analysis and then creatively explore the presentation of the results.
