Alexander Lex: How can data be communicated more effectively? Alexander Lex is looking at the question of how interaction between humans and computers can be improved – particularly in visualisation and accessibility.

Alexander Lex is back at TU Graz - after stints at the elite Harvard University and a professorship in Utah. What does he bring to the table? A passion for data visualisation and the question: How can we present complex data in such a way that people can understand it intuitively?

TU Graz Develops a Navigation System for Divers Buoys located by GNSS and electromagnetic signals enable divers to navigate underwater without harming animals. A head-up display in the mask shows the appropriate routes.

🤿 Divers can now use a head-up display in their mask to navigate directly to their targets, return to the boat, or safely avoid restricted zones – and can be located at any time in an emergency.

TU Graz Study: Front Brake Lights Could Significantly Reduce the Number of Road Accidents Reconstructions of accidents at road junctions revealed in a study that an additional brake light at the front of the vehicle would have prevented up to 17 per cent of collisions.

A green brake light on the front of cars? Sounds odd at first – but it could reduce accidents by up to 17%.

TU Graz Study: Austria’s Schools Largely Fail to Comply with National and European Air Quality Guidelines In three quarters of all Austrian classrooms, the average CO2 concentration exceeds the guideline value. Inadequate air quality impairs learning and increases the risk of infection and health issues.

Guide for Municipalities on Measures to Combat Climate Change The consequences of global warming are also becoming increasingly noticeable in Styria. TU Graz has analysed how they affect individual municipalities and derived suitable recommendations for action.

There are many ways to prepare cities and communities for the changing climate conditions. Infrastructure adjustments, such as the expansion of drainage systems and retention basins as well as improved early warning systems, are therefore an important countermeasure.
