Hi, i am an interdisciplinary researcher blending design and technology.
About me
I’m Dr. Danny Schott, an interdisciplinary designer and researcher based in Magdeburg, Germany. I have 15 years of experience working in both design agencies and research environments, and I’m passionate about understanding how humans interact with computers.
Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Virtual and Augmented Reality Group, Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg.
