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.

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.

Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage (cloud storage) and computing power, without direct active management by the user. The term is generally used to describe data centers available to many users over the Internet. Large clouds, predominant today, often have functions distributed over multiple locations from central servers. If the connection to the user is relatively close, it may be designated an edge server.

We liked some use cases very much, especially since we have already realized similar projects. Not the less there was a lot of new things to discover. We also learned a lot when it comes to working in the cloud.

In addition to the event, we also exchanged information with several service providers and suppliers with whom we have already worked together.

It is always nice to see old friends again and meet new ones at the same time. We are already looking forward to the next Summit.
