9:00 Doors opening.

9:30 – 9:45 Presenting: Holographic Academy and VRBLN Focus by Carl White, VRBB by Stephan Schindler.

9:45 – 10:15 Fabian Quosdorf, game developer at Laubwerk (laubwerk.com) has worked on multiple Hololens projects (including a holographic demo for the Porsche museum). He will tell us more about the challenges in integrating holographic elements into Hololens.

10:15 – 10:45 Jenn Beutnagel from Interlake (interlake.net). She will tell us “Why Mixed Reality is the future of computers” with an insight on how holography and the enhancement of our real world through digital devices like HoloLens, Amazon Alexa, Smartwatches etc. is becoming the future of computers.

10:45 – 11:15 Ingo Feldmann from the HHI Fraunhofer Institute (hhi. fraunhofer.de) is working on developing the Fraunhofer HHI Volumetric Video capture capture system and technology. He will give us an insight on the evolution of their project and explain how real people can be captured and used (besides VR) for AR and MR applications.

11:15 – 11:45 Matthäus Oelschläger, a game developer doing research at Humboldt-Universität, has worked on a Unity project for the HoloLens. He will share his thoughts on the limitations of working with HoloLens within the Unity environment.

14:45 – 15:15 Andreas Daniel Matt, mathematician and CEO of IMAGINARY (www. imaginary.org) will present HOLO-MATH (www.holo-math.org). HOLO-MATH is a project by Institut Henri Poincaré (Paris), One More (Paris), Holo-Light (Munich) and IMAGINARY (Berlin) to produce immersive live experiences for a group of visitors using HoloLens in a museum or exhibition context. Insights into the development of the first episode on Brownian Motion will be shown.

15:15 – 15:45 Felix Herbst and Thi Binh Minh Nguyen from Prefrontal Cortex are working between art, design and industry. They’ll talk about interaction superpowers and showcase their projects at AND with Meta2.
