Story-Driven City Exploration in Expanded Realities - Trailer & Demo
Description
Drawing on the title „Story Driven City Exploration in Expanded Reality“, this master’s thesis discusses a new approach to immersive, holistic, and gamified experiences. We conducted research and combined various areas such as storytelling and narrative strategies, dioramas, personalization, experience design, sound design, and new technologies – specifically Expanded Reality (ER) – in a transmedia project on mobile platforms such as smartphones to create distinctive experiences.
Enhance cities with memorable experiences.
We want users to get to know a city fully immersed and in a holistic way by helping them experience unique moments, expanding users‘ perspectives
and giving added value to specific places.
By creating a story-based experience about art and history, we want to take city tours to a whole new level by interacting with the city itself. In order
to achieve this, we use augmented reality to increase fun, excitement and turn the city into a Discovery Space on special landmarks.

Hola Lens - Spanish in Augmented Reality
Description
A playful language learning environment. Through interaction with the entire environment and the placed objects, the user learns Spanish through the combination of different senses.
The user wants to learn Spanish easily – Home is a familiar and close environment – It’s where you recover and possibly reflect on yourself or think about your day.
Our project will provide the user with an immersive and memorable learning experience.
We want to create a playful language learning environment. By interacting with the whole surroundings and placed objects, the user will learn a language by combining different senses. Our application could work with several languages but in our case we decided to let you learn Spanish.

360° Video - Chain Reaction - for VR
Description
A 360° VR video experience. The user walks around in a virtual environment. Suddenly, a flowerpot falls down. The user looks up and sees many windows. Now he can select a room to see what happened until the flowerpot fell down. This video shows the room we worked in.

WeCare - Internet of things
wecare improves the quality of care. It creates a communication bridge between residents and caregivers and automatically documents processes that are part of their daily routine. Furthermore, with the wecare quality seal, we ensure that the time saved actually benefits the residents.
We want to increase the quality and care. We want to place interpersonal relationships in the foreground.
We will enhance the quality of care by creating a bridge of communication between caregivers and residents. We will reduce the amount of documentations and ensure that the time gained is invested in real care.
We are developing an extensible nursing home system that will automate part of the documentation and clarify residents conditions. Through the care certification we will also carry the attention outwards.

NOOK - Ambient Intelligent
NOOK consists of two components: a guidance system (Grid Unit) and a room-divider system (Divider). The Grid Unit incorporates a lighting concept as well as features for identifying disruptive sources of noise. It also provides visual feedback, allowing NOOK to draw attention to acoustic disturbances and demonstrate the technological basis of gesture recognition.

Simulations
Bioflow - Simulation
The project is a simulation of predator-prey populations for children.
2 months later…
„… we want to unconsciously teach students and children the biological knowledge through interaction with friends and fun …, The pupil should be actively involved and make changes for themselves …“
Fun is a big part of our vision and mission.
How can we bring forth fun? It should not be a boring textbook application, with lots of data and graphics. We want to teach and entertain our target audience through fun and gamification.
We give the users the power to adjust the parameters themselves and thereby influence the development itself.

Environment Awareness Trough Serious Game
A serious game designed to raise environmental awareness. Children and teens can play the game and learn in a holistic way how they themselves influence the world.
Climate change has a negative impact on the world and human. It is important for us human to change our behavior.
Show the adolescents that human are responsible for the state of the world. Anyone, who adapted their lifestype can change these.
By integrating real life environment, together with nudge and storytelling and with a real world reward system, the importance of this fact will be transferred with fun and joy.

Serious Game - Nico
The story takes place in a fictional world where humans and machines coexist. The world is divided into four levels, with the poorest neighborhood at the bottom and the richest at the top. The player cannot tell whether they are female or male, human or machine. As the game progresses, the player is meant to figure this out and, in the end, reflect on themselves. We’ve built a playable prototype set in the lowest levels. You can watch the demo in the video.

Demo Lightny Escape
It's actually a reverse snake game. The player controls the prey and must find the exit before the snake can catch him. The environment is dark, and he can place lights to help him find his way. But if the snake eats one of these light bulbs, it will grow.
