I’m a doctoral researcher at the University of Konstanz in Germany. My research interests are peripheral vision and its applications for human-computer interaction and postural stability. My goal is to understand how peripheral visual cues could benefit interaction, enhance everyday safety, and prevent balance-related falls.

MoPeDT: A Modular Head-Mounted Display Toolkit to Conduct Peripheral Vision Research

In the past, a few specialized appliances were developed to display visual cues in the periphery, each designed for a single specific use case only. A multi-purpose headset to exclusively augment peripheral vision did not exist yet. We introduce MoPeDT: Modular Peripheral Display Toolkit, a freely available, flexible, reconfigurable, and extendable headset to conduct peripheral vision research.
