VVC – Versatile Video Coding Standard

Short Introduction Versatile Video Coding (VVC – officially approved as ITU-T H.266 | 23090-3) is the most recent international video-compression standard of ITU-T and ISO/IEC. H.266/VVC is the most recent video compression technology to be standardized. In the exhibit the improvements of this new video coding standard get compared to the old ones. Description H.266/VVC […]

Volumetric Streaming

Short Introduction The demonstrator shows how volumetric videos can be streamed efficiently over 5G networks. Through the development of a volumetric video streaming system it is possible to offload the rendering to a powerful cloud/edge server and only send the rendered 2D view to the client instead of the full volumetric content Description This demonstrator […]

OmniCam

Short Introduction The OmniCam is a scalable, mirror-based multi-camera system that enables the recording of video material in a 360-degree panorama format. The OmniCam was developed in 2007 at the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institute by Christian Weissig and his team, marking a milestone in camera technology. Description The latest version of the OmniCam, the OmniCam360, consists of […]

Gesture Monitor

Short Introduction The gesture monitor is a mobile patient monitor that can be interacted with using gesture control. The demonstration shows the extent to which technology can be modernized in medical areas. Description The demonstrator was developed as part of the Interactive and Cognitive Systems group’s research into contact-free interaction. The research group is part […]

Augmented Reality Assistance in Assembly Tasks – DigitalTWIN

Short Introduction DigitalTWIN is a completed research project focused on developing digital tools and technologies for the construction industry’s entire value chain. Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, the project aims to bring small and medium-sized construction companies into the digital age. By integrating technologies like 3D printing, augmented […]

CultArc-Scanner

Short Introduction The CultArc-Scanner captures the geometry, texture, and optical material properties of objects through image-based processes. By scanning and documenting objects, it enables the preservation, communication, and interaction with cultural heritage. This opens up numerous opportunities for research, education, and digital art, allowing these valuable cultural assets to be protected and made accessible for […]

COMPAIR

Short introduction COMPAIR is a project for the monitoring and detection of air quality in cities and regions. To raise awareness and improve air quality, the project was initiated, with the Department of Immersive Media and Communication from the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute as a partner. The goal of the COMPAIR project is to detect […]

Blood Flow

Short Introduction The Blood Flow project originated from the work of Eric Wisotzky (research associate at the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institute) in collaboration with the University of Rostock. The demo aims to represent and visualize blood flow in the skin, pulse, and blood circulation in the body. Description The objective of the project is to measure blood […]

AI-based Model Creation from 2D Floor Plans – BIMKIT

Short Introduction Building Information Modeling (BIM) uses 3D models to capture detailed information about a building throughout its lifecycle, from planning to demolition. These models enhance the management of construction and maintenance processes, particularly for existing buildings and infrastructure. However, the lack of accurate as-built models has delayed BIM adoption, especially in areas like infrastructure […]
