Projects

In various subprojects, application scenarios of new technologies such as Augmented and Virtual Reality in theatres and event locations are being designed and tested.  Initially, the focus will be on three specific areas of theatre: architecture, stage design and theatre technology. Based on these disciplines, we investigate different forms of application of Augmented and Virtual Reality: thus, both technologies open up new ways for human experience, they create innovative approaches and new levels of mediation (e.g. for theatre heritage) and they can serve as tools for the planning and execution of processes.

The resulting solutions should serve as sustainable transferable concepts due to their prototypical model character. These will be made available to the entire theatre, cultural and entertainment landscape so that they can be adapted to the respective needs.
