Projects
The innovation network XR-INTERACTION initiates research and innovation projects between tech companies and research institutions. Some of the projects are presented here.
The aim of the project is to clearly convey a basic understanding of topics such as size, mass, gravity, stability, distances and much more. The basis is formed by haptic models that represent the actual proportional mass of their “originals” (Eiffel Tower 12cm=1g; Earth 13cm=6kg). By expanding into augmented reality (AR), the aim is to create a learning experience that combines the haptic and digital worlds.
Project period: Jul. 2024 – Dec. 2025
Project partner: Faszinaturen UG, Hochschule Mitteida
Funding parter: Federal Ministry of Education and Research, DATIsprint
Funding volume: 330.000 €
The project researches the use of immersive technologies to create virtual live events such as concerts. Interactive technologies based on virtual reality are being developed and tested that virtualize real stage content and make it accessible to users in social virtual spaces. By virtualizing humans, their movements and speech, shared experiences in virtual space similar to a real get-together are possible, so that people can participate in live events together with other remote people.

SocialSTAGE-VR is a research and experimentation platform for the use of virtual reality for the experience of stage events. As a young and creative team of developers and scientists from different companies and research institutions, we are exploring questions together with artists: How will we consume cultural content, such as music and concerts, in the future and how will new interaction technologies blur the lines between social media and artistic content?
