The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft
The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft undertakes applied research of direct utility to public and private enterprise and of wide benefit to society.More than 80 research institutions,
including 59 Fraunhofer institutes18,000 employees, the majority
educated in natural sciences or engineering
Annual research volume of 1.66 billion Euros, of which 1.4 billion Euros is generated through contract research
International collaboration through representative offices in Europe, the US, Asia and the Middle East
Fraunhofer Institute for Communication,Information Processing and Ergonomics FKIE
Research Areas Analysis of sensor data and sensor modeling Multi-sensor data fusion Unmanned Systems Robust heterogeneous networks Secure communication and IT security

Ergonomic design of mobile devices
Motivation: Mobile computers ≠ stationary computers Military application ≠ private application Research studies to assess fitness for use Design of a visualization and interaction
concept on a conceptual and technical basis Performing CD&E-studies by means of
experimental setups with prototype character

Ergonomic design of mobile computers- examples -
Context and requirement analysis: Future operational scenarios, e.g. urban operations
Information density: Only 5 +/- 2 tracked targets are processed
Multimodal operation displays / tactile displaysGUI-design:
Font size with HMDs: 20-42 pt Influence of walking on input performance starting
at ID>4 (e.g.: iPhone: 1,2 cm (should), 1 cm (is)) Font size for Smartphones: ongoing

A comprehensive UI concept for COTS based wearable computing systemsApproach: Combining several devices to foster positive
and mitigate negative impacts Development of distributed and consistent UI
across all devicesChallenges: Identify suitable selection of devices Identify support relations among these Determine which device is acutally in use and
which goal the user has in mind
Diversity of mobile devices allows task-tuned ICT support
