The Auto-ID Lab based at ETH Zurich and at the University of St. Gallen conducts research in the field of next generation Internet of Things technologies that will revolutionize interfaces between users and objects. Learn more about our research focus and related projects. We are constantly looking for new collaborations and motivated Master students and PhD candidates. Our current research topics include:
Consumers will benefit from making better decisions supported by Artificial Intelligence and Personalization.
Spatial computing will bring about a new form of commerce within our homes with unprecedented levels of presence.
Mixed reality will allow users and things to connect in new ways, requiring novel interfaces between consumers and the internet-of-things.
Industrial processes will benefit from mixed reality, as spatial computing allows for novel interfaces, faster information retrieval, remote maintenance and many more useful applications.
