Pre- or postdoctoral research fellow. Candidate must be European citizen and under 35 years. Research area in vision-based tracking of persons / gestures for VR/AR animations. 12 months contract, close collaboration with a leading Austrian VR company. Salary including income tax and social insurance: 14 x ATS 35.000.-- 2. Pre- or postdoctoral research fellow. The project aims at the development of a fully mobile, collaborative AR environment. Major tasks of the candidate will be: a. participation in selection and implementation of proper hardware components including see-through display, wearable computers, 3D interaction devices, and 6DoF sensing (we propose a hybrid approach fusing inertial sensors and stereo vision); b. development of vision modules for real-time 6DoF tracking. Project funded by the Austrian science foundation, duration 24-36 months. Annual salary (including all taxes, social insurance and other governmental fees) is ATS 554.000.-- (postdoc) or ATS 328.000.-- (predoc). For a reference to previous work, see IWAR¦99 San Francisco.
