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.
