Lukas Willmann

At the IIIUS (Institute for Intelligent Interactive Ubiquitous Systems) I work on artificial intelligence, computer vision and extended reality. What interests me most is how machines perceive their surroundings and how people can work with such systems in a meaningful way.

One topic I am particularly concerned with is explainable AI: how to make it understandable why a model does what it does.

On the side I work as a freelancer: I consult on software and AI, build websites and, on request, take on custom software projects. If you have a project in mind, get in touch.

• this is probably not real

  ongoing

  A satirical news site where deliberately bad AI models summarise real news and distort it along the way, sometimes subtly, sometimes completely off.

• IADAPT

  ongoing

  Research project at IIIUS together with INIT: intelligent, adaptive user interfaces for control-room systems in public transport. I am one of the main developers.

• regioKArgoTramTrain

  ongoing

  Lighthouse project of the TechnologieRegion Karlsruhe: moving passengers and goods together by tram. I co-develop the project's VR environment.

• Teaching 3D

  completed

  Capturing lecturers with 3D cameras and showing them as point clouds in virtual space, so complex topics can be explained spatially instead of on a blackboard. Camera calibration with Python and OpenCV, rendering in Unity.

• Remote rendering for HoloLens 2

  completed

  Bachelor's thesis: a remote rendering component in Unity for the HoloLens 2 application MARBLE. Complex models are rendered on an external machine, colour and depth data are streamed via WebRTC and put back into the scene.

• Office Mirage

  completed

  VR game for the Vive XR Elite, made in a game jam during my master's in media informatics: escape from an office full of strange tasks. I programmed the entire game mechanics.

• Realtime BeerPhong

  completed

  Beer pong as a browser-based AR app, built as a team project in a real-time computer graphics course. My part: coordination, shader programming and choosing the 3D libraries.

• Shader Solarsystem

  completed

  A solar system in a single Shadertoy shader, made in two days. The focus is on the shadows, which make the planets look like 3D models although everything is computed per pixel.

For projects, research questions or just to chat: send me an email and I will get back to you.
