Human Joystick Locomotion
Human Joystick Locomotion
This project is open to everyone and contains a simple but very robust human joystick interface for virtual travel. When the users are seated they can tilt their upper body or head to move this way, when they are standing they can step or balance, and the interface is even functional when crouching or lying... find your way of moving forward!

ChronoShore: Diegetic Temporal Exploration in a Simulated Virtual Coast Environment
ChronoShore: Diegetic Temporal Exploration in a Simulated Virtual Coast Environment
This project aims to raise awareness about coastal erosion and other geological phenomena through immersive experiences. I am collaborating on this project with colleagues in Costa Rica, such as Yuen C. Law and Gustavo Barrantes Castillo. However, traditional 2D video scrubbing methods fall short in immersive settings, particularly for understanding time-bound processes such as simulations of geology or biology. ChronoShore addresses this by allowing users to interact with celestial bodies to dynamically control and experience the passage of time, currently showcasing different weather events and atmospheric phenomena. At ACM VRST 2024, we have received a Best Research Demo Honorable Mention Award 🏆 showcasing our time manipulation interaction. My student Lucca Troll was responsible for the implementation.

OpenCybersicker
OpenCybersicker
This project, open to all, is designed to induce cybersickness in a controlled environment for research purposes, with an engaging and playful twist for users.Cybersickness remains a major obstacle to the broader adoption of VR, particularly in scenarios where virtual movement lacks corresponding physical motion. Although various mitigation strategies have been proposed, none are universally effective, especially when virtual movement is essential. To advance this field, research requires precise tools for inducing cybersickness in controlled empirical settings.The Cybersicker addresses this need by offering a simulator that balances intensity and accessibility. It bridges the gap between high-intensity proprietary systems and less engaging alternatives. The simulator provides controlled translational and rotational vection, ensuring reliable experimental conditions while fostering active user participation.

Spatial Memory Game for the Evaluation of Cross-Reality Transitions
Spatial Memory Game for the Evaluation of Cross-Reality Transitions
A part of my current work focuses on transitions between different contexts and hybrid spaces, such as in cross-reality applications. These are applications that, through specific state-of-the-art hardware (Varjo XR-3), allow for the visualization of both VR and AR content and dynamically switch between them.
The design of a spatial memory game provided us with unique insights into user navigation behavior between hybrid spaces [Feld et al., 2024]. Showcasing our prototype at the prestigious IEEE Virtual Reality conference in Orlando, Florida, this year, we were honored with the Best Research Demo Award 🏆.

A Human-Joystick
A Human-Joystick
Since 2015, I have been iterating on an interface commonly referred to as leaning, which enables virtual locomotion in virtual environments solely through inclinations of the user’s upper body, without the need for controllers [Zielasko et al., 2016] [Video][Video].
This interface has always been at the center or a component of many scientific investigations I have conducted. In 2022, I visited Professor Bernhard Riecke at the School of Interactive Arts and Technology, Simon Fraser University, for half a year, where I joined the second group of researchers focusing on such motion interfaces. Together, we refined the method further and showcased it at SIGHGRAPH’s Immersive Pavilion [Riecke et al., 2022] [Video].
In a student project from 2022, [Flemming et al., 2022], we introduced a hoverboard as a narrative component to the interface [Video]. This addition aims to better immerse the user in the experience (willing suspension of disbelief), illustrating why they are moving while seated, without proprioceptive or vestibular stimulation.
In the future, I aim to investigate how this user-friendly interface, can be used to enable more inclusive access to VR. Initial studies have already shown that the lower technological barrier, achieved by eliminating the need for controllers, significantly increases technology acceptance.
This is particularly important as fear of failure often hinders acceptance.
BlowClick
BlowClick
This endeavor started with my participation in the 2015 3DUI Contest at the IEEE Virtual Reality Conference [Zielasko et al., 2015]. The goal was to create a virtual musical instrument. I led the organization, design, and implementation of the project, which involved almost all doctoral students from the VR groups at RWTH Aachen University.
We implemented an interface based on state-of-the-art finger tracking by Leap Motion at that time. The user could trigger and manipulate the amplitude of tones by blowing into a microphone.
Virtual notes flowed from the user’s ten fingers, and when they hit virtual bottle openings in the 3D world, they produced tones corresponding to the bottle’s fill level. This allowed up to 10 notes to be played simultaneously. Additionally, users could manipulate the bottles within the VR environment. [Video]
This project led to many subsequent projects where I explored the use of non-verbal vocal inputs (NVVI) and their potential as alternative inputs [Zielasko et al., 2015, Zielasko et al., 2017] ultimately leading to BlowClick a muti-purpose, multi-context trigger interface [Video].
Preservation and Availability of Heterogeneous Cultural Heritage Research Data via a Virtual Museum
Preservation and Availability of Heterogeneous Cultural Heritage Research Data via a Virtual Museum
Together with the Classical Archaeology department in Trier, I have been working for years on integrating classical excavation data with a 3D reconstruction of ancient Augusta Treverorum. I have contributed two significant components to this project.
Firstly, I designed a backend based on OpenStreetMap and other GIS-related software stacks, capable of dynamically loading and, importantly, altering virtual cities in real-time. This is motivated by the fact that archaeological knowledge of the site continuously evolves due to ongoing excavations. Instead of constantly updating the 3D reconstructed city to reflect the current model, the city is stored digitally and can be loaded and visualized at any time. It adjusts to the terrain, and city sections are automatically filled with generated buildings according to the street network. One of the city’s landmarks, the Porta Nigra and the Römerbrücke, were modeled by me in 3D and provided for the project.
Secondly, I led the design of a small virtual museum that serves as a bridge between the classical excavation data, which we process and make searchable on a traditional web interface, and the 3D reconstructed city [Zielasko et al., 2020]. Users can navigate from the website to this museum or exhibition room, where they can view exhibits and media. They can then jump to the exact location in the 3D reconstructed city by interacting with the presented city model and return when needed. The museum acts as a narrative link between the two worlds. Everything is operated using a simple orb metaphor, where objects the user picks up transform into semi-transparent spheres. These spheres can be thrown at walls to display media content or used to navigate the city, as described above.

CartVR - Convincing interfAce for Roman Travel in VR
CartVR - Convincing interfAce for Roman Travel in VR
CartVR is a student project that I initiated, lead, and actively contribute to wherever possible. I am responsible for welding the metal frame, handling the electrical components, and creating the 3D model of the ancient Roman circus. The project originated from the idea that a significant portion of my research involves virtual locomotion in VR, combined with our department’s extensive engagement in Roman history at Trier University. My goal was to create a method for locomotion within our virtual Augusta Treverorum that is contextually convincing.
This led me to the concept of reconstructing a Roman chariot in VR, complete with a corresponding motion platform to create a realistic simulation. What makes CartVR unique is our focus not only on building the simulation for the user’s experience but also for the bystanders who are typically present during a demonstration. Therefore, we have always emphasized ensuring everything is presented impressively to these observers. Consequently, we began building a chariot with corresponding horses, specifically Achal-Tekkiner horses bred historically for racing chariots, to scale.
The simulation is designed for multimodal stimulation, extending beyond proprioceptive, vestibular, and tactile feedback from the motion platform. In the future, users will also experience simulated wind in their faces and genuine reins attached to load cells that enable the control of the horses.
