The following contains currently open thesis topics in our areas of research. If you are interested in a topic or have a thesis idea of your own that might fit our research interests, please contact us directly.
Implement curved objects (e.g., sphere, cylinder, …) for the Vienna Physics Engine. Also implement more collision detection algorithms, like GJK and Chung-Wang Separating-Vector.

For the Vienna Vulkan Engine, implement a planet scale simulation and rendering algorithm. This should heavily depend on LOD and e.g. Perlin noise. You should see the planet from space, dice into its atmosphere and land on the earth.

Play around with https://github.com/graphdeco-inria/gaussian-splatting and create a couple of scenes. Mix in 3D content that is traditionally rendered. Render also onto a sphere to produce the contribution of the scene light and transfer the scene light onto the rendered 3D object. Effectively, you…
