Homepage of Paul Holleis (PhD)

I currently work as a researcher within the Smart and Secure Services research group at DOCOMO Euro-Labs, a leading European Research Lab for novel mobile multimeda services.

Until recently, I was working as research assistant at the Universität Duisburg-Essen in Essen at the Chair for Pervasive Computing and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich at the Chair for Media Informatics (Lehr- und Forschungseinheit Medieninformatik). In the research group "Embedded Interaction" we researched new means and models for humans to interact with ubiquitous computers (and vice versa).

I am also working on a toolkit for combining hardware and software devices with a variety of different underlying technologies targeted at different user groups. See http://www.eitoolkit.de for more information.

Browse to the research group's former web page http://www.hcilab.org for more details on Embedded Interaction.

Breaking News:

We published a chapter in the very interesting and nice book "CLASSROOM OF THE FUTURE - Orchestrating Collaborative Spaces"
On July 03, 2009, my son Samuel Peter Holleis was born :-)
I had my very successful PhD defense on January 19, 2009!!! Some pics will follow soon! - OK, not so soon ... (Feb. 24) - OKOK, actually quite late (May 08), but hey, Matthias uploaded some here!
