Digital Einstein at GITEX 2024 in Dubai:
CGL is proud to showcase the Digital Einstein project at GITEX GLOBAL, the largest tech event in the world. As part of the event, Dr. Rafael Wampfler delivered a keynote on the creation of believable digital characters. Additionally, Dr. Rafael Wampfler, Philine Witzig, and Chen Yang led an interactive workshop on AI for digital characters.
Welcome to CGL
The Computer Graphics Laboratory (cgl) was founded in 1994 by Prof. Markus Gross. Our research is devoted
to the design of fundamental methods, algorithms and systems for computer graphics, geometric modeling,
physics-based animation, image acquisition and generation, display, scientific visualization, and multimodal learning.
CGL has currently 20 Ph.D. students and 2 senior researchers. CGL collaborates with researchers, institutions, and
industry from all over the world.
Since 1994, we published more than 500 peer reviewed scientific papers,
graduated 70 Ph.D. Students, created 8 faculty, filed more than 60 patents, and founded 9 startup companies.
For a survey of current research topics you might visit our research page.
More detail can also be found on the personal homepage of Prof. Markus Gross.
