Open House at TU Dortmund University – A Success

In early November, the Professorship Digital Transformation welcomed numerous visitors and immersed them in digital technologies.
The horizontal photograph depicts a scene in a spacious, well-lit foyer of a public building, likely a university or school due to the architecture. The floor features distinctive reddish-brown hexagonal tiling throughout. In the center foreground, two individuals are actively using white Virtual Reality headsets and holding controllers. They are standing inside a designated square area marked on the floor with purple tape. Inside this square, strips of green tape spell out the large letters "VR". The person closest to the viewer is wearing a dark jacket, light grey jeans, and carrying an olive-green backpack. To their left, the second VR user is dressed in dark clothing. A third man, dressed entirely in black, stands just outside the designated zone, watching the users. To the right of the image, a young man with light hair, wearing a white cable-knit sweater and dark grey jeans, leans against a high round table. He is looking down at papers or a device, with a coffee cup sitting on the table in front of him. The background reveals a glass-walled structure on the left, tables set up with laptops and yellow chairs, and a central circular pillar covered in flyers and notices. Further back, exposed brick walls, large windows letting in daylight, and other people sitting at tables are visible. The ceiling is white with recessed circular lights.

Recap of our DiWoDo workshop

As part of Digital Week Dortmund (DiWoDo), we held a workshop at the Chair of Digital Transformation at TU Dortmund University.
The landscape-format photo captures a presentation taking place in a bright, modern seminar or meeting room. On the right side of the image, a male presenter stands in profile, facing left towards the audience. He has short, curly brown hair, wears glasses, a blue blazer over a white shirt, and blue jeans. He is gesturing with both hands whilst holding a presentation clicker in his right hand. Behind him is a large digital flat-screen display mounted on a rolling stand. The slide being presented features the green headline "Virtuelle Gärten – Einsatzmöglichkeiten" (Virtual Gardens – Application Possibilities) and shows the logo of TU Dortmund in the top right corner. The slide content is divided into four quadrants displaying images and graphics related to Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) applications on smartphones and computer monitors. On the left side of the image, the audience is seated at a configuration of white tables. In the immediate foreground, with their back to the camera, is the head of a person with reddish-brown hair tied in a bun, wearing a black sweater. Further back sits a man with grey-flecked hair and a beard, wearing a grey hoodie, who is looking attentively at the speaker. A glass water carafe and several glasses are placed on the table in front of him. In the background on the far left, another man wearing glasses and a blue shirt is seated on a dark grey sofa. The room is functionally furnished: in the background, a white shelving unit holding silver cases and yellow stacking bins is visible, alongside a large green houseplant (Monstera) in the corner. Framed pictures hang on the white walls, and long fluorescent light fixtures are mounted on the ceiling.

Publication in MIS Quarterly: Study on trust-building of domain experts in AI-based counterparts

Prof. Manuel Wiesche published a study in the Management Information Systems Quarterly (MIS Quarterly) Journal together with three colleagues.
A stylized infographic on a white background illustrates the concept of artificial intelligence. In the exact center of the image are the two large, black letters "AI". A triangular arrangement of three round medallions is placed around this center. The top, central medallion shows a futuristic, dark robot or android, whose head and torso are covered with a luminous blue, neon-like circuit pattern and whose eyes glow bright blue. The two lower medallions show stylized people: on the left, a man with dark hair in a suit with a blue tie, and on the right, a woman with long, dark hair and a red top. All three circles are interconnected by thick, dynamically flowing bands that look like organic cables or data streams in black, orange, red, and blue, symbolizing the connection and interaction between AI, the man, and the woman.
