Description We assume the scenario, in which students are absent from class or distributed in different locations all over the world will increase. Streaming technology gives students a way to attend the classes remotely. Lectures can be held from different places and the video technology allows students to follow the classes and chat with the lecturer and other students. Nevertheless our experience with streaming shows […]
Ausgangslage In Tourismusdestinationen und bei Ausstellungen, Messen, Museen etc. wird immer mehr von Erlebniswelten gesprochen. Ein Besucher erwartet heute, dass ein Produkt, eine Dienstleistung oder eine Szenerie als Erlebnis präsentiert wird. Beamer-Projektionen, Bildschirme, Drucksachen, Bücher und Schautafeln allein reichen nicht mehr aus, um das Interesse der Besucher zu wecken. Wie lässt sich ein solches Erlebnis vermitteln? Das Projekt «Holographic Grisons» weist den Weg in die […]
Beschreibung Wie finden sich Velofahrer an fremden Orten und Städten zurecht? Wie gelangen sie auf dem schnellsten und effizientesten Weg zu ihrer Destination? Es gibt eine grosse Anzahl von Navigationsarten, mit denen Velofahrer anhand von digitalen Karten und Stadtplänen navigieren können. Die meisten dieser Lösungen sind Apps, die sich auf Smartphones und Smartwatches installieren lassen. Die Navigation auf dem kleinen Bildschirm ist oftmals mühsam, da […]

It is equally important that they […]
This blog post briefly describes how to build Augmented reality applications for the Web. We are talking of pure HTML, CSS and Javascript apps as well as hybrid solutions. Hybrid AR Applications Probably the easiest solution is to build AR applications on a hybrid basis with Cordova. It is an Open Source solution from Apache to create mobile apps with HTML, CSS and Javascript. It […]
There are many solutions to create Augmented and Virtuality Apps for IOS and Android smartphones (for example Wikitude for AR or Insta for VR applications). In this blog post I will discuss the Web solutions. Therefore, I concentrate on solutions which run in the browser or are created with Web technologies (such as HTML, CSS, Javascript) on a Hybrid basis (see this article by Pietro […]
Es vergeht keine Woche, in der die Medien nicht über Augmented, Virtual und Mixed Reality (AR, VR, MR) berichten. Doch wo stehen wir heute in Bezug auf die Inhalte und die marktreifen Technologien in diesem Bereich? Dieser und weiteren Fragen ging der Workshop der Fachgruppe Multimedia (Fredy Schwyter) und der Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Technik Chur (Martin Vollenweider) nach, welcher am Mittwoch, 26. September 2018 […]
Virtual Reality (VR) applications allow to create virtual worlds, which can be viewed with the help of VR glasses (such as the Google cardboard). In the application it is possible to include 3D objects, images, videos, audio files as well as animation and interactivity. Viewing a VR application is impressive, since it is possible to see a 360-degree virtual world and interact with it. Amazingly […]
