This Bachelor thesis illustrates the connection between the technologies Augmented and Virtual Reality and creates an expedient interdependency of the two forms of presentation. For this purpose, an application in the area of interior design has been implemented, where designing a room can be made more intuitive by using Augmented Reality, as it provides a realistic impression of the planned apartment with a Virtual Reality simulation. Based on the relevant knowledge, a project-concept has been drafted and realized by using several development systems. During a series of tests this implementation has been evaluated and subsequently optimized. The result confirms the assumption, that Augmented and Virtual Reality with their strengths can be combined to an evident solution. This thesis is relevant for computer science students as well as for people interested in innovative solutions.

The following work describes the prototypical conception and development of the stat-raising game "Adventurer's Guild" using the game engine Ren'Py. The game's narrative is influenced by player decisions and the planning of activities. The game is to be visually pleasing and enjoyable. After giving an overview of stat-raising as a genre, the existing games "Dandelion - Wishes Brought to You", "Pastry Lovers", "Long Live the Queen" and "Magical Diary" are analysed to pinpoint various strengths and weaknesses of their different takes on the genre. The resultant findings are used for the conception of a new stat-raising game. The game mechanics and the design decisions made are then shown in screenshots and thoroughly explained. In a final assessment, the game will be examined with regard to the given task. Further possibilities for potential improvements and expansions will be detailed at the end.

Using physics simulations natural phenomena can be replicated with the computer. The aim is to calculate a physical feature as correclty as possible in order to draw conclusions for the real world. Fields of Application are, for example, medicine, industry, but also games or films. Snow is a very complex natural phenomenon due to its physical structure and properties. To simulate snow, different material properties have to be considered. The most important method that deals with the simulation of snow and its dynamics is the material point method. It combines the Lagrangian particles based on continuum mechanics with a Cartesian grid. The grid enables communication between the snow particles, which are not actually connected. For calculation of particles data is transferred from these particles to the grid nodes. There, calculations are carried out with information about neighboring particles. The results are then transferred back to the original particles. Using GPGPU techniques, physical simulations can be implemented on the graphics card. Procedures like the material point method can be parallelized well with these techniques. This paper deals with the physical basics of the material point method and implements them on the graphics card using compute shaders. Then performance and quality are evaluated.
