Projects Future Applications and Media

The project “6G Native Extensions for XR Technologies” – 6G NeXt, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), aims to develop a scalable, modular and flexible infrastructure enabling a variety of industrial and end-user use cases with requirements exceeding those of today's 5G network in terms of intelligence, performance and efficiency.

SMARTEDGE enables dynamic integration of distributed intelligent edge services. Integration together with reliability, security and privacy is achieved by enabling semantic-based interoperation of edge devices via a cross-layer toolchain

The aim of the “Virtual Learning Environment of the German Armed Forces (VLBw)” project is to create a comprehensive learning ecosystem for all training facilities and digital functions of the German Bundeswehr. The German Armed Forces is one of the largest employers in Germany and has around 130 training centres. It plays an important role in adult education and training.

The aim of the project is to digitally complement or even replace classic event formats by using new immersive media formats when physical presence is not possible. The new media formats, include for example 3D audio, 360° videos, light fields and volumetric videos.

5G-VICTORI is a large scale EU funded project that aims at validating 5G networks with vertical user cases. Large scale trials for Railway, Energy, Media and Factories of the Future are planned. The testbed infrastructure for the Berlin trials is provided by Fraunhofer FOKUS.

The goal of the project is to create innovations, concepts, and energy-efficient solutions addressing the entire video streaming value chain from video creation to processing, delivery, and their usage on consumer devices.

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).

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.

With the Control & Connect project, the project partners aim to promote seamless access to digital educational media for users, e.g., students and teachers, in line with the digitization strategies of the federal and state governments.

In TRIPLEADAPT, an adaptive, interoperable professional education platform will be created via the development of a digital triplet. Digital learning environments will then be extended by learning concepts with the aim of increasing learning success.
