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“.

At this point we can only recommend everyone to visit as many trade shows as possible. Here are a few reasons:

Escaping the office

Boredom and dissatisfaction can be fatal. So, escaping the wall-facing desk in favour of stretching your legs and heading down to an exhibition is a matter of curiosity.

Networking

The old adage, “It’s not what you know, but who you know” is truer than ever today.
Exhibitions provide many opportunities to connect with the local and global industry community, allowing you to meet like-minded individuals and subsequently, leverage the best contacts – this is invaluable in today’s competitive market.
Not only will you meet them in both a professional and social environment but, you’ll also get to break down those awkward barriers around networking etiquette which will allow you to comfortably mix business and pleasure.

Learning, knowledge and trends

Depending on the sector you’re working in, exhibitions can be a great place to polish up your industry skills and find out about the latest innovations and trends. These events often afford the opportunity to listen to insightful keynotes and absorb the wisdom of thought-leaders and innovators.
They also give a good indication of where things are headed and you can get a chance to learn as much as possible.

Physical interaction

Exhibitions are great interactive environments. They are full of live demonstrations and new products that give you the opportunity to examine, handle, compare, see, smell, experience and test-drive.
In this fully immersive environment, you can become one with your chosen field.

Creative engagement

Creative engagement at an art exhibition may be a given, but even at trade shows exhibitors often pull out all the stops in order to immerse visitors in a visceral experience.
Beautifully crafted pop up stands, innovative technology and impressive engineering all equate to a thought-provoking creative experience that will inspire you, or just leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.

Negotiations

Sales is generally at the forefront of the exhibitor’s mind and so, here’s your opportunity to buy, negotiate and sell.
That human touch, those charming bartering techniques and those upfront payments are irresistible to the average exhibitor… and visitors know this. There isn’t much obvious room for you to exercise your negotiation skills online so discounts at your favourite exhibition are a very real possibility.

Direct access to the big players

Research further suggests that one-third of visitors are looking for new suppliers. Opportunity is ripe! As is expert advice on specific commercial challenges.
Forget trawling through web sources, forums and social media profiles – casual approaches and face-to-face appointments with key suppliers are fair game and a perfect way to ask questions. It’s also a perfect chance to build bridges with the powerful players.

Competition

Hundreds of thousands of businesses market themselves at exhibitions every year. So, if you’re a visiting competitor, sizing up the other fish in your pond and scouting enemy positions is an integral part of the exhibition. If you’re simply interested in the market, you can neutrally observe and make informed comparisons.

Job hunting

If you’re keen for a new challenge or are just a bit fed up with your everyday work routine, you’ve probably been to a job fair. We’ve all seen the types that wear jeans and t-shirts to work, travel to the office on a scooter, play Games in their lunch break and have access to a ready supply of deliciously unhealthy snacks. Surely it’s only fair that you get a slice of that pizza? Exhibitions give you the chance to window-shop to your heart’s content, sampling what’s on offer in the world of business.

We are really very thankful for everyone we got to know during this time. Especially the people from the big companies who brought us close to the different industries. And you know who is meant here. In the meantime many of our friends have changed positions or even companies, so that from now on we will be remembered more via the common social media platforms and conventional telephoning. Of course we are always happy when one of you picks up the phone and calls through. Just let us hear from you again if we appear in your memory.

COEZBAY says THANK YOU for the last couple of years full of traveling, fun, knowledge, exchange and Rock & Roll!

Thank you all and on to the next adventures!

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.

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.
