In the coming months, it will be our task to press ahead with further expansion and to complete projects. We are also planning to expand our team. We are still looking for sales experts to accompany us on our way.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us and look forward to the next adventures together.

We also took this opportunity to adapt the corporate design a bit and created an intro video for the company website.

And for the contact area we were inspired by the first aerial view of our company. Just check the contact area on the company page or have a look here.

All in all, this project was a complete success. Firstly we took the opportunity to personally experience TIMEHOUSE from all perspectives. In other words, we were often on site, talking to the management and staff to get an idea of TIMEHOUSE’s identity. To sum up, we were convinced that TIMEHOUSE’s terrific team is simply fabulous. As a result, we were very much involved in the interior design and the possibilities on site. For instance, we were very impressed by the attention to detail in the selection of home accessories. In addition we liked the economical and sustainable use of the cosmetic articles. Special attention was paid to the charging stations for electric vehicles.
In conclusion, the implementation phase was relatively quick. In the following some impressions in the Making-Of.

Making Of – Timehouse Image Film Project:

In this project we not only found new customers but also friends.
Many thanks for the excellent cooperation!

Just like airplanes, copters should also carry position lights and collision warning lights during a Drone flight at night. Or in other words this is what you need for a Drone flight at night with the right light:

Red light that shines unobstructed from just ahead to the left over an angle of 110 degrees up and down;

Green light that shines unobstructed from directly ahead to the right over an angle of 110 degrees up and down;

White light that shines unobstructed from just behind to the left and to the right. Over an angle of 70 degrees up and down.

The position lamps may be either continuous or flashing and shall have a prescribed intensity.
The red and green light must be at least 5 candelas and the white tail light at least 3 candelas. The legal requirements for position and collision warning lights can be found at the DSF “German Air Traffic Control“.

It was a special pleasure for us to be able to participate in this event. Together we should support LGBT+tech communities much more.

So here are a few impressions from the Unicorns in Tech Event.

A little more input:

Speaking Unicorns in Tech has given us the opportunity to get feedback from people from a wide range of industries and fields. So we met many new friends and were able to see further perspectives. Furthermore, it was interesting to get feedback from people outside the industry. On the basis of this feedback we are optimizing our HR (Human Resources) to become even more accessible to the general public.

Special thanks to the teams of Unicorns in Tech and Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship (SCE).

The Unicorns in Tech network is an international LGBT+ tech community.
To be precise, a network founded by the UHLALA Group. Since 2014, they have grown into a large community of more than 3400 unicorns who are passionate about technology and its latest trends.

The primary seat of the network is located in Berlin.

The SCE, as the Entrepreneurship Center of the Munich University of Applied Sciences, promotes innovation and entrepreneurship through interactive educational offerings, start-up support and networking activities. The goal is to motivate and enable personalities to think and act entrepreneurially and thus contribute to a future worth living.

We had a lot of fun and could take a lot with us. We would like to thank all participants who attended the lectures at Unicorns in Tech and look forward to the future exchange.

Last but not least:

Everyone who walks through our door is welcome regardless, of their gender, sexual orientation, race, health, religion, age or disability.

Traugott Emrich – Photogrammetry for VR for beginners

360° video technology is impressive. It lacks the ability to move physically in the virtual world. Photogrammetry gives us the possibility to visualize real places in 3D. For instance to visualize an office or to digitalize a warehouse. In other words, you can create an image of reality.

What is Photogrammetry?
Photogrammetry is a group of measuring and evaluation methods. Remote sensing to determine the spatial position or 3d shape of an object from photographs and precise measurement images.

Traugott Emrich https://www.aerofotografie.de/ gives an overview of the right entry into this exciting technology and how to achieve amazing results with a manageable budget.

COEZBAY GMBH – KanDao Obsidian 360 Camera – HandsOn

Cagatay Oezbay, https://www.coezbay.com founder of COEZBAY GMBH and consultant in the areas of Virtual-Reality and Real-Time Applications, will demonstrate the latest camera for stereoscopic 360-degree shots.

A standard 360 video is just a flat equirectangular video. Displayed on a sphere you can look around inside. Think of it like the face of a world map on a globe, but with VR your head is on the inside of the globe looking at the inner surface. As you move, the head tracking on your device moves with you, giving you that feeling like you are inside the scene.

However Stereoscopic 3D can add another level of immersion by adding depth data between the foreground and background. Your favorite 3D blockbuster movies usually shot with 2 lenses side by side. This way, each eye gets a different angle of view when watching. Like any production, this can look strange if poorly implemented, or absolutely amazing if done right.

With stereoscopic 3D in VR, that depth information has to be overlaid and mapped to sphere. Because of parallax between cameras, this can be challenging. Any minor flaws or “stitch seams” in the footage are magnified in 3D, and sometimes anomalies occur in different places per eye – which makes it uncomfortable to watch. Therefore Cagatay Oezbay will and can show you different HowTo’s to avoid the most common issues.

Clarance Dadson Design4real will bring the Samsung Odyssey Windows Mixed Reality VR Headset.

Here we go with some impressions of the VR 360 Video Meetup meets Burda Bootcamp event.

At this point it should also be mentioned that we were very impressed with the interior design of the BurdaStudios. The choice of murals was extremely creative and we also liked the impressive wooden wall right in the entrance area.

The physical well-being was also taken care of. Therefore both great sandwiches and drinks for every taste. As it is for Bavaria, good beer is also a must. Even though we personally abstained from drinking alcohol and unfortunately arrived with a full stomach.

All in all it was an extremely successful event. We especially liked the networking component. We were able to meet many old friends from the industry and got to know many new faces. Of course we are looking forward to the next event.

Augsburg University of Applied Sciences is a German university located in Augsburg. Founded in 1971, but its institutional roots as an art academy go back to 1670. With more than 6,000 students the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences is one of the largest institutions of its kind in Bavaria.

Some points of the program list: Insights in professional drone flying, talks about 360-degree movie making, hands-on and networking at it’s finest.
The highlight: The presentation of the new KanDao Obisidian R VR camera.

Extract from the workshop

Special thanks to Julian Leupold, who organized the 360 VR Drone Workshop University of Applied Sciences Augsburg with and for us.

It was an interesting experience to hold this workshop with the students of the University of Applied Sciences Augsburg. After the young ladies and gentlemen were all from the subject, the workshop got down to business relatively quickly. For this reason, we were able to immerse ourselves in technical details and the first tests relatively quickly. We particularly enjoyed the Q & A with the professors and students. As you will notice, especially the questions from Prof. Dr. Michael Kipp. In conclusion – This showed us that there is a lot of interest in the topics. Above all very sobering and motivating, to find out, that the future of the media is partly in the hands of such motivated young people.

Julian is an Art Director Motion at Jung von Matt with a strong background in interaction design, innovative conception, interactive storytelling, motion design and film. Focused on the interface between interaction design and linear media.

We thank for the successful event and wish all participants continued success.

All in all it was a successful test. Even though the neighbors felt a little annoyed for a short time about the noise caused, an agreement was reached and we were able to complete our test successfully. After a good preparation and adjustment of the individual components, it is easy for us to create 360 degree content with the drone. This also means that in the coming weeks we will realize the same tests under a helicopter. Already today we can say that we will unfortunately not provide the content due to data protection guidelines.

As a Bavarian company, it is a particular pleasure for us to realize projects in Bavaria. Starting with the magnificent mountains, the beautiful rivers and the wonderful lakes. This time we have realized this for ourselves free of charge. Not quite true. One drone (the DJI Mavic Pro) fell by the wayside. Nevertheless it was an action-packed tour with lots of fun and joy.

But you should still keep a certain distance. Or …

The Bavarian Sunrise Tour was a successful change. We thank our team member Michael Radeck for this idea and for his commitment. We learned a lot about drone technologies, weather and safety precautions when working with drones.

All in all, it is a very good all in one semi professional camera with which you can create stereoscopic 360 degree images relatively quickly. We didn’t really like the in-house stitching software because of the very poor response time. At this point we can recommend working with Mistika VR. At least we have had relatively positive experiences with it.

Our goal was to introduce the audience to the technologies we use. Starting with 360 degree camera technologies, through Virtual Reality, to drones and 360 degree editing software. On the side, we immersed ourselves a bit in real-time software, which involved the common game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine.

Our presentations were very well received by the audience. There were also some big names in the industry who bombarded us with questions. Which was very good. Because this way you can evaluate if and how much interest there is from the audience and you can improve your skills and expand your own knowledge.

It was our first official cooperation with Kameraverleih Licht und Ton KLT GmbH and we were thrilled. We especially liked the available equipment at KLT. No matter what the requirements were, there was a solution for everything. If there was no solution, a suitable solution was made. What does not fit, is made to fit. This is the way it has to be.

We are looking forward to further cooperation and send our best regards.
