Biography
Nathaly Tschanz is professor at the Immersive Realities Center - an interdisciplinary eco-system at the department of computer science - , director of studies of the Bachelor in Immersive Technologies and lecturer in training and continuing education.
She has several years of professional and leadership experience in digital business, marketing, media and communication (e.g. Head of Digital Content at Ringier Axel Springer Switzerland, Scout 24 Switzerland, Somedia etc.). From 2018 to 2021, she worked at the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons - first as lecturer and later as professor for Extended Reality and Digital Business Management and CAS-program director (further training).
She first encountered Augmented and Virtual Reality in 2010, when the technologies were still largely unknown and hardly anyone had the emerging potential on their radar. That was the reason for her to publish the book Praxishandbuch Augmented Reality in 2015. In 2017, an extended edition followed: Augmented and Mixed Reality for Marketing, Media and Communication.
Besides her engagement at HSLU, she is a visiting lecturer at other educational institutions and chapter lead for immersive technologies at the Digital Veterans Association.
