Daniel Roth is a research assistant at the HCI Group of the University of Würzburg. He received his Engineering Masters degree in Media Technology from TH Köln, Cologne. His research is interdisciplinary and focuses on user embodiment and behavior in VR/AR, the augmentation of communicative phenomena of everyday social interaction as well as serious and societal applications of VR and AR.

Iana Podkosova is a postdoctoral researcher at TU Wien, Vienna, being a part of the Virtual Reality research group at the Institute of Visual Computing and Human-Centered Technology. The focus of her research is on multi-user VR and MR systems, with the emphasis on the use of space, co-presence and social interactions in large-scale walkable multi-user environments.

Niels Christian Nilsson is an assistant professor at Aalborg University Copenhagen. Niels served as program committee member for IEEE VR since 2016 and as editor or reviewer for multiple VR outlets, such as Springer Encyclopedia of Computer Graphics and Games, Frontiers in ICT/Robotics and AI. His research is focused on perception, cognition, and locomotion in VR.

Alexander Kulik is a postdoctoral researcher at the Virtual Reality and Visualization Research Group at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Before his PhD research on collaborative 3D user interfaces, he studied industrial design. He is enthusiastic about user interfaces that leverage our cognitive, manual, and social skills for expressive interactions. His current research focuses on interactive systems for bimanual and social cooperation.

Gerd Bruder is a Research Assistant Professor for Virtual and Augmented Reality at the Institute for Simulation and Training at the University of Central Florida. His interdisciplinary research focuses on perception and cognition in computer-mediated environments, human-computer interaction, intelligent virtual agents, and social presence with embodied virtual humans.
