Science and Technology Transfer (WTT) Serious Games wants to promote serious games in Hessen. The "serious games" are conceivable for almost all areas of life. For example, they can playfully do something for your health or teach education - and have fun doing so!The aim of the project is to bring scientific expertise to high-quality serious games in the entrepreneurial practice. This should make Hessen the Serious Games location # 1 in Germany.

(SPA), MODUL University Vienna (ÖST) and associated partner Darmstadt Marketing, Amsterdam Economic Board, Visit Belgrade, Göteborg & Co., City of Stavanger & Regionstavanger and Valencia Tourism.

Project summary:

Tourism generates revenue and employment in cities, but also causes overcrowding, pollution, noise, etc. SCITHOS develops guidelines, aids and simulations (with apps and serious games methods) that help cities solve these problems - with the active involvement of the population. The latter is crucial because improving the quality of life of a city can only be achieved by taking into account the wishes and needs of the residents.

2011

In cooperation with Fraunhofer IGD, the app "dARsein" the world's first augmented reality app, was developed, which recognizes a 3D object (Haus Olbrich) in the outdoor area - regardless of the weather, light or shadow setting - and at the same time, historical images and sketches, are overlaid.

If the natural reality is blended with additional information, it is called Augmented Reality (AR). Developed by the researchers of Fraunhofer IGD, the world's leading research institute for applied visual computing, the technique determines the position and viewing direction of captured photos and selects the appropriate historical material in real time. "The application dARsein processes natural image features and thus recognizes three-dimensional objects, such as buildings," explains Dr. med. Ulrich Bockholt, Head of Department "Virtual and Augmented Reality" at Fraunhofer IGD. "Pictures, texts and graphics can be placed in the correct position via a photo taken with the mobile phone."

Visitors to the Mathildenhöhe were able to view the original design sketches or historical images as a superimposition of the current building. Past and present have been made comparable. Watch a video of dARsein here.

2006

As early as 2006, Darmstadt Marketing worked with a female avatar in an image film about Darmstadt. The Darmstadt avatar "Lili", in homage to the lily in the Darmstadt coat of arms, led through Darmstadt's culture and provided interesting insights into the virtual developments that were emerging in the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research (IGD).
