• evaluate and document related human factors
• develop use case for which a sensible interaction device would be of great benefit
• develop and implement sensible interaction device
• conduct user assessments

• document and discuss the findings and give a perspective for carry on work

Desired skills and qualifications

The candidate shall:
• be an enrolled student (m/f/d) within Human Factors Engineering or a similar field of study
• be fluent in English and German
• have experience in development of hardware user interfaces with microcontrollers, e.g., Arduino
• have basic programming skills
• be skilled in handcraft
