Welcome!

My name is Sven Buschbeck, I am working for the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, DFKI GmbH, Saarbrücken, Germany on a platform for event-indexed media exchange within the Glocal Project (FP7). The goal is to allow professionals as well as amateurs to organize and exchange/share their local media collection on a global scale. My working area includes interaction design, prototyping and evaluation.

Currently, we are creating use cases, scenarios and interface drafts for Glocal, aiming to achieve a first prototype before the end of this year as an important step on our way of creating an intuitive and easy-to-use interface for a global scale media archive.

My personal mission statement  is to get people closer to the knowledge they are searching for by creating and evaluating intelligent and intuitive user interfaces in general as well as interactive visualizations of large data sets in particular, as for example in Glocal or Magnet.
