Projects Future Applications and Media

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.

MPAT allows content creators to produce the HbbTV-equivalent of 'micro-sites' in a cost-efficient way while removing worries about coMPATibility with existing devices. The toolkit provides tested templates and plug-ins that can be easily adapted to a channel or programme design. A set of plug-ins allows the provision of common application features 'out of the box'.

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 armed forces want to access the innovative power of digital transformation. The vision of the study “AI support for learning management systems” is attractive, modern and targeted training that ensures the right personnel are well trained and capable of acting at the right time. To this end available functionalities from the fields of digitalization, artificial intelligence (AI) and big data are to be integrated into the existing training landscape of the armed forces.

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.

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.

SCENE’s platform will combine cutting-edge technology with a commitment to social responsibility and sustainability. From AI-based audience scouting, distribution mechanisms, and blockchain for IPR protection to 3D representations of monuments, the project is revolutionizing the industry while respecting the values of the European Bauhaus.

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.

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.

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).
