Christian Bauer is the lead software engineer of the NADS-1 simulator. Prior to joining Driving Safety Research Institute (DSRI), he worked for over 15 years as a software developer and research scientist with a focus on computer vision, machine learning, 3D visualization, and user interaction. Among several projects, he also contributed to a distributed VR/AR system that allowed multiple users to collaborate in AR/VR on tasks such as liver surgery planning. The system shared several similarities with the NADS-1 simulator system and DSRI's goal to connect multiple simulators.
