Layout and Typography

In this course at LMU Munich I taught basic principles of typography, layout and editorial design and essentials in Adobe Indesign. Among other things, the students designed flyers and posters for the institute's Open Lab Day, as well as a portfolio booklet for their job applications. The poster designs were displayed in a public exhibition at the end of the course.

Programming with Kinect

In this course at LMU Munich I taught programming basics with Microsoft Kinect sensors, depth and skeletal data, and how to create systems using multiple Kinects, using the Microsoft SDK, C#, and Visual Studio. Students developed their own project in group work and presented their work on a public interactive display at the end of the course (see example).
