In the EXPAND+ER WB³ project, the vision of educator Otto Herz is applied to the field of vocational education. The technology partners of the BMBF-funded EXPAND+ER WB³ project develop a scalable platform that protects privacy and enables users to search for and receive recommendations for further education courses.

No product is safe from counterfeiters, whether it's sneakers, chainsaws, medicines, or FFP2 masks. At the same time, consumers hardly have a chance to detect such pirated products. Especially in medical products and pharmaceuticals, there is also a considerable health risk from counterfeit products. Therefore, the Smart ID project is developing a novel labeling system that can be used to verify the authenticity of products.

Web App DRM by Fraunhofer FOKUS allows developers of web applications to define innovative licensing conditions for their applications in a flexible manner. At the same time, the privacy concerns of users are suitably addressed by sandboxing the licensing process.

The PADGETS project aims at bringing together two well established domains, the mashup architectural approach of web 2.0 for creating web applications and the methodology of system dynamics in analyzing complex system behavior.

REEVALUATE project will provide a holistic solution to the challenges of Cultural Heritage (CH) digitisation management, enabling collaboration, boosting creative reuse and promoting democratic and inclusive prioritisation and contextualisation.

360° video got quite popular and we have been working on solutions for efficient delivery of high-resolution content, especially also to TV devices (in addition to Head-Mounted Displays).

The cooperation project “ANOPAS“ (German title: Anwendungsorientierte Optimierung von Media-Streaming mit MPEG-DASH) aims at developing adaption algorithms to improve the playback quality for adaptive video streaming and Hybrid-TV. The solutions are compliant with standards such as MPEG-DASH, HbbTV and HTML5 to ensure interoperability.

Tomorrow's future – multiple applications which will run in cars, on mobiles, on PCs, in TVs and more. With security built in to the open source web application platform. Designed with an end-to-end security.

The EU-project “Hyper360” aims to introduce a new Free View Video (FVV) format that converges 360° and 3D video, offering enhanced immersive experiences to its viewers. It develops a 360° media production toolset to extend current short film productions with novel and powerful storytelling opportunities. The final goal is to offer a complete solution for the OTT media sectors to capture, produce, enhance, deliver and consume this format.

Public Transit by Fraunhofer FOKUS provides passengers with real-time data about schedules, delays, interruptions and alternative travel options
