At the Christian Doppler Laboratory ATHENA, 12 researchers are currently working on innovative technologies to ensure that video transmission is smooth and energy-efficient even though the data volumes are high. Among them is Daniele Lorenzi, who is set to complete his doctoral thesis this winter semester.
Six patent applications have already been registered by the ATHENA laboratory this year, with the most recent being granted in June 2024. The technologies protected by the patents were developed in collaboration between the University of Klagenfurt and Bitmovin. A total of 15 researchers are currently working on innovations in video streaming at the Christian Doppler Laboratory.
Whenever Tom Tuček talks about the world, he invariably needs to specify: Are we talking about the real world or virtual worlds? A doctoral student at the Department of Information Technology, he is currently investigating digital humans, i.e. virtual characters such as those we encounter in video games. Tom Tuček would like to find out how contact with digital humans equipped with new artificial intelligence affects players.
Vast quantities of data also signify huge energy consumption. Developers face the task of processing so-called “massive graphs”, i.e. enormous amounts of information and relationships between information nodes, and they have to do this in times when energy is in increasingly short supply. For almost a year, researchers involved in an EU Horizon project have been working on a holistic model to address the ongoing challenges. The goal is, among other things, an energy label for software codes (just like on refrigerators).
