Research Group VisSim

We unite two research lines, VisSim (Visualization and Simulation) and AHSport Research, under one shared profile. Our work integrates advanced visualization, biomechanical simulation, and quantitative movement analysis to understand human structure and function and to create results that are transferable to real-world settings.

A core focus is robust markerless motion capture for use outside laboratory conditions. Complementing this, we build and validate biomechanical models to quantify loading and stress/strain patterns in tissues and musculoskeletal structures, with particular attention to the biomedical impact of normal weight and obesity.

Strong practice orientation is central to our approach. In close collaboration with the Institute for Computational Visualistics and the MTI Mittelrhein (Institute of Medical Engineering and Information Processing) at the University of Koblenz, as well as with companies, medical doctors, and physiotherapists, we turn research into usable outputs such as validated pipelines, transferable models, and application-ready concepts with measurable value.
