From time to time you will find informations about ongoing, planned or accomplished projects. As well as several reviews about different products and topics on the Blog. This platform should also bring virtual and augmented reality closer to our readers. So that they can be among the first to immerse themselves and their customers in it.

The goal was to get satisfactory results on “Google Page Insights” and “GTmetrix“. Updated privacy policy and blog also means that the ranking of the website on the various search engines should improve.

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.

Due to deadlines we unfortunately made it very late to the animago AWARD & CONFERENCE this year. Nevertheless we were able to meet some good old friends.

Here are some pictures with our friends at the animago AWARD & CONFERENCE 2019

Bela Beier is editor-in-chief of Digital Production and has been the editorial head of the magazine for many years.

Gottfried Hofmann is a friend and Blender user since version 2.50 Alpha 0. He stumbled upon this amazing program when he learned that it is capable of smoke simulations. Shortly afterwards he started to create tutorials about smoke simulation, which turned out to be very popular. As a result he decided to create his own tutorial page with Frederik Steinmetz: Blender Diplom.

Mike Kuhn’s specialties are 3ds Max, extremely colorful Hawaiian shirts, training on all kinds of 3D topics and an encyclopedic knowledge of the entire 3dsMax ecosystem. Furthermore, he is a good friend with whom we enjoy meeting and exchanging ideas.

Nils Calles, also a longtime friend, runs a media agency in Mannheim, where he produces trailers, motion graphics, image films, tutorials and 36O degree websites.

Users can virtually place the configured vehicle on any surface – both inside rooms as well as outdoors. Before making the purchase decision: Park your dream car in your own driveway, marvel at it in your own living room
or show a photo-realistic version of it to your friends.

Share your very own configuration over different platforms directly from the App. Use the share button to send it via WhatsApp or on different social media profiles like Facebook. Look at the vehicle and all its details in the real world – regardless of where you or your friends are.

You can see the vehicles in augmented reality on a smartphone or on a HoloLens. Especially in a much better quality than in classic web configurators on the computer. Because they are 3D models you can walk around.

Augmented Reality (AR) is the technology to implement your real assets digitally into the real scene. As you can see in the video above. We are happy to support you in choosing the right solution and implementing an AR project. Whether engineering, tourism, music, retail, healthcare, education or for tactical applications.

With an AR application, your product or area of application is always in the foreground. Enormous cost savings in training courses, such as dealing with complicated industrial machines, maintenance work on vehicles or sales training. The possibilities are unlimited. Get a solution that allows you to optimize your production processes immensely. And present them in a unique and interactive way. Simply by using a head-mounted display like a Microsoft HoloLens or your smartphone.

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.

Talks:

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.

After we used some 3D scans to realistically display real-time scenes in various game engines, we looked for more compact laser scanners. And we found what we were looking for. Leica provided us with a suitable product with which we can test our requirements.

A laser scanner can be based on many different technologies, each with its own limitations, advantages and costs. Of course, restrictions regarding the type of objects must be observed. For example, optical technology may encounter many difficulties with shiny, reflective or transparent objects. For example, you can use industrial computed tomography scanners and structured-light laser scanners to construct digital 3D models, without destructive testing.

Collected 3D data is useful for a wide variety of applications. Such laser scanners commonly used in the architecture and construction industry. Our unconventional application has found a hearing in this case and it is a special pleasure for us to share this with you.

All in all, this test contributed greatly to our purchase decision. It is one of the cheaper laser scanners with a price of about 15.000,00 EUR on the market. Considering the performance it is a good investment.

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.

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.
