Volumetric Capture Studio
Volumetric capture refers to a technology in which a three-dimensional (3D) model of a physical object or scene is created. In the context of people, volumetric capture often refers to the creation of 3D models of people, including their movements, gestures and expressions. This is often used for virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) or other immersive experiences.
Volumetric capture is used in various fields such as entertainment (for example, to create digital doubles of actors), medicine (to create accurate anatomical models) and virtual training (to create realistic simulations of environments and processes).
The 3IT Jena is equipped with the 3iosk-16 from Mantis Vision. It contains a total of 16 vocams. Each vocam consists of one depth camera and two RGB cameras. The depth cameras use structured light for depth measurement. You can find more information at: https: //mantis-vision.com/3d-studio-3iosk/.
Augmented reality welding simulator (Department of Industrial Engineering and Management and Department of Mechanical Engineering)
Soldamatic is a welding simulator based on augmented reality technology. It has been developed to bring welding practice closer to the qualification of welding professionals and the industry in a realistic way, limiting potential risks, costs and waste of resources.
The combination of real physical elements and augmented reality technology opens up infinite possibilities for replicating welding practice.
- Welding quality. The welding simulation is parameterized based on real use cases. The algorithms then "translate" the information obtained into a code that is used for the simulation.
- Real welding equipment: welding helmet, TIG pedal and transfer modes.
- Real-time interaction between teacher and trainee possible.
VR Rehabilitation (Department of Health and Care)

With its diverse programs, the ICAROS Cloud offers you many highly effective training options that make the ICAROS Cloud a daily companion for your individual sports program.
VR Space-Lab (Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology)
In order to show students the potential of VR, a VR application was created in the ET/IT department for demonstration purposes. The environment is based on real 3D scans of the department, which were recorded using a laser scanner and a hand scanner. The application should also have potential for expansion in order to motivate students to become active themselves and implement their own ideas based on this project
The first step in implementing the VR application was to post-process the 3D scans. To demonstrate the possibilities, an outdoor area was created in the orbit of the earth, where study content is playfully illustrated at three different stations.
VR Color-Transfer-Lab (Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology)
Thanks to our high-precision laser scanners and a multi-stage processing chain, we are able to create a digital 3D replica of the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences. We have reconstructed both interior and exterior spaces and prepared them for virtual reality (VR).
You can see the results for yourself at our exhibit. Put on one of our VR goggles and take a virtual tour of parts of the university. Interact with the scene by changing the lighting and color conditions of the rooms as required. Immerse yourself in this interactive and immersive experience and discover the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences from a perspective never seen before!
