The Chair of Socioinformatics and Social Aspects of Digitalization conducts interdisciplinary research on empirical questions, reflected in its interfaculty anchoring at the faculties of Computer Science and Business Information Technology, Applied Social Sciences, and Design. The main focus is on challenges at the intersection between humans and technology.

This includes biophysical measurements in human-computer or human-machine interaction, such as skin conductivity, heart rate variability, eye tracking, and pupillometry.

Through practical research projects of the Chair of Socioinformatics and Social Aspects of Digitalization, significant contributions have already been made to the scientific discourse.

These include projects that supported the city of Würzburg (touristic VR views) and the city of Lohr a. Main (LohrOnPlan app development) as well as the city of Haßfurt (photogrammetry for digitalization of the Ritterkapelle as part of a model project for the Smart Green City of Haßfurt).

Institute Design and Information Systems - IDIS

The Faculty of Computer Science and Business Informatics and the Faculty of Design jointly founded the In-Institute for Design and Information Systems (IDIS) in September 2011. As a research-based institution of the university, the institute brings together the two faculties with the goal of transferring interdisciplinary knowledge into valuable projects and products and thereby increasing the university's third-party funding. IDIS deals with applied interdisciplinary research in the field of digital information and communication media and addresses inter- and transdisciplinary issues in the field of computer science and communication design. The institute supports companies from all industrial sectors and cultural institutions from applied basic research to prototype realization.

Computer scientists and communication designers at IDIS become multimedia translators of impulses and codes that make social and economic actions understandable, interpretable, and controllable. The early and close cooperation of the digital media study focus of the Faculty of Design and the corresponding project classes of the Faculty of Computer Science and Business Informatics made it clear that only the meaningful fusion of idea, content, design, and function can lead to pioneering results. The institute also deals with new knowledge technologies and the development of experimental concepts for optimizing tasks in industry and society.

IDIS has set itself the goal of simplifying, improving, and expanding the work of people in different occupational fields through the development of far-sighted, effective, and economically sound tools and prototypes. The institute sees itself as a think tank that works in close coordination with its partners and clients to sustainably optimize their competitiveness through innovative solutions.

Projects

Can an algorithm calculate morally? (KAIMO)

Ethics and Digital Operationalization in the Field of Child Welfare Endangerment.

Norms and values guide people’s actions. In modern societies, social and political institutions should also meet these normative criteria. In view of the advancing digital possibilities, the question arises whether institutional decision-making can be digitally supported or even replaced by software programs. This applies all the more in social conflicts and morally charged situations in which people have to make ethically and legally justified decisions in a short time and with limited resources. Can algorithms help public institutions to act ethically, especially in such conflict situations?

Escape Game: Knights' Chapel Hassfurt

The highly detailed 3D model of the historic Ritterkapelle Haßfurt, developed as part of a project together with the Smart Green City Initiative of the city of Haßfurt, offers the opportunity to design a virtual reality learning arrangement through photogrammetric reconstruction. Due to the very high-resolution models and surface structures, it can be distinguished between low-detailed use cases and high-detailed applications. In the first version, the historical church can be viewed from the inside and outside via commercially available VR devices, smartphones or desktop applications, which have already been used in other contexts for building preservation. For closer examination of sculptures or building structures, higher-resolution data can be used. In this context, the aim is to convey knowledge about the historical background of the Ritterkapelle, the specific exhibited artworks and the peculiarities of the building. Since the entire chapel already exists as a 3D model and the current pandemic has greatly restricted viewing times, implementation as a virtually walkable solution seems logical. The intended use can be viewed as a model for other art historical and cultural organizers who can also be used in museums or other historical buildings.

Since the use of virtual reality for learning purposes is still characterized by a strong lack of empirical findings, an informal learning arrangement will be examined to determine the impact of the form of media delivery of historical knowledge on learning cognitive processes and learning outcomes.

Accordingly, an escape game will be implemented in the virtual environment of the Ritterkapelle Haßfurt, which can be played with a current VR system. For this, various tasks, following the approach of Anchored Instruction, will be embedded in an exciting, coherent story about relevant historical backgrounds. The learners will independently work out historical facts in an informal learning situation to gradually solve a higher-level task and "escape" from the virtual environment.

User Centered Design

Digital citizen services enable time- and location-independent communication between citizens and the public administration. To this end, the Institute for Design and Information Systems (IDIS) of the THWS works with the Anstalt for Kommunale Datenverarbeitung in Bayern (AKDB).

Photogrammetric model of the knight's chapel in Hassfurt

As part of a project from the professorship, the Ritterkapelle (knight's chapel) in Hassfurt was digitally scanned using the latest methods.

Using photo and drone shots, a highly detailed 3D model of the chapel was created through photogrammetric reconstruction and optimized for use in various digital environments, such as a smartphone, website, or virtual tours.

Motion capture in martial arts

Using a kinematic motion analysis with the help of motion capture, the training of beginners in the martial art of Muay Thai was analyzed and optimized. Traditionally, the movement sequence is guided and evaluated by a trainer in training. However, in cooperation with the university, the athletes did not train in a dojo, but in the motion-capture laboratory at Sanderheinrichsleitenweg. This allowed for a very detailed influence on the movement sequences and possible sources of error could be corrected at an early stage.
