Thesis Objective
In current mission planning and support systems, a wide variety of data has to be visualized and controlled on geo-referenced maps. Current solutions use single sliders, tick boxes, or edit fields to control the visualization of and the interaction with this data by usage of keyboard and mouse. A new approach would be to use a set of real hardware sliders, buttons, rotaries, or wheels, to allow for a simultaneous control of multiple data items and thereby speed up the interaction process.
The main objective of this thesis is to develop, implement, and test a hardware device which features four motorized sliders, which can be driven to dedicated positions, four mouse-wheels for function allocation to the sliders, and an additional set of buttons dedicated for further to-be-defined functions.

Thesis Expectations

The candidate shall:

• Evaluate and document requirements for the interaction device
• Develop a design which fulfills the requirements
• Realize the design in hardware and software
• Define meaningful tests and implement them
• Document and discuss the findings

Desired skills and qualifications

• Enrolled full-time student in the area of Human Factors Engineering or a similar field of study
• Fluent in English and German
• First experience in development of hardware user interfaces with microcontrollers, e.g., Arduino
• Basic programming skills
• Skilled in handcraft

Please upload the following documents: cover letter, CV, relevant transcripts, enrollment certificate.
