VORMEL: Creating distributed location-synchronized Mixed Reality experiences for Living Labs

Background

As a sub-project of the joint project "Living Lab Ignite" from the WIR! alliance Mixed Reality for Business (MR4B), the project deals with the conceptual design and preparation of a showroom for the demonstration of distributed hybrid Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) application scenarios, in which user interaction as well as display and manipulation of shared location-based content in spatially separated environments is to be enabled. An essential task of the subproject on the part of TH Wildau is the research and development of a method for the dynamic spatial anchoring of virtual objects with a common local reference in different, interconnected AR and VR applications. By preparing and extending at least one demonstrator in different spatially separated test environments, this procedure is to be practically implemented in it. Demonstrators will be used to illustrate the benefits of establishing multi-user Mixed Reality applications in an industrial context.

The overall context of the showroom is the establishment of a "Living Lab" for the WIR! alliance MR4B, for which the foundation stone was laid in the first joint project "Living Lab Ignite" and which is to be further expanded in the two following years with the follow-up project "Living Lab Live", which has yet to be applied for. In the longer term, the Living Lab is to be used not only as a showroom, but also as a testing ground for feasibility studies within the alliance, as well as an offer of advice on the available technologies. With the help of this Living Lab, both the PR and transfer activities of the alliance are to be strengthened and new partners from business, politics and society are to be acquired.

The project is carried out in cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences Berlin.
