The Optics and Sensing Laboratory and the Perceiving Systems Department at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems have an open position for a student research assistant (HiWi) to join an ongoing collaborative research project with the Department of Psychology of LMU (Clinical Psychology and Psychological Treatment) on interpersonal synchrony.

About us

We are creating highly realistic human and animal avatars for use in research, film, virtual reality, biology, and medicine. Using unique 3D & 4D capture facilities and computer vision methods, we are modeling humans non-verbal behavior.

Our approaches define the current state of the art, and we are constantly improving these methods and systems to achieve better accuracy.
