Wel­come!

My name is Sven Buschbeck, I am curi­ous about humans inter­act­ing with their envi­ron­ment. As an inter­ac­tion designer, UI/software archi­tect and devel­oper I am focus­ing on humans inter­act­ing with com­put­ers or with each other using computers.

My per­sonal mis­sion state­ment is “Under­stand the user’s needs to let them do what they want to do more eas­ily.” I pur­sue this by cre­at­ing and eval­u­at­ing intel­li­gent and intu­itive user inter­faces. This includes any kind of user inter­face in gen­eral, but I am par­tic­u­larly inter­ested in inter­ac­tion with and visu­al­iza­tions of large data sets, as for exam­ple in Glo­cal or Mag­net.

Cur­rently, I am work­ing for the Ger­man Research Cen­ter for Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence, DFKI GmbH, Saar­brücken, Ger­many.
We are cre­at­ing use cases, sce­nar­ios and inter­face pro­to­types for Glo­cal (FP7 Project), as part of our way towards an intu­itive and easy-to-use inter­face for a global scale media archive.

Besides that, I am inter­ested in pho­tog­ra­phy, mirco-controller pro­gram­ming, and any­thing related to expe­ri­enc­ing and pro­tect­ing nature.

those who believe there are two kinds of peo­ple in the world and those who don’t.“
