THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD IN GERMAN
The VDT Regional Group Berlin will be visiting the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI). The evening will focus on acoustic simulation methods and applications as well as audio in interactive immersive environments — including a demo in the TiME Lab. There, we’ll experience a high-resolution 180° video projection and a wave-field-based 3D sound system in action, used for realistic audiovisual presentations of urban planning concepts as well as infrastructure and noise protection measures. We’ll also touch on the production and transmission chain for 360° video panoramas, enabling live streaming into immersive venues such as planetariums.
Talk & demo:
-
Thomas Koch (Deputy Group Lead) – CDS presentation on acoustic simulations for infrastructure projects, from an AES67-capable microphone array to a binaural renderer
-
Steffen Günther – TiME Lab demonstration on audio in interactive immersive environments, including the 180° video projection and the wave-field-based 3D sound system
Location: Fraunhofer HHI, Salzufer 15/16, 10587 Berlin
Meeting point: Foyer at Fraunhofer HHI – from there we will go together to the event room.

About the Capture and Display Systems (CDS) Group
The Capture and Display Systems (CDS) group specializes in innovative software and hardware solutions for complex capture and playback systems in audio and video processing. The development of sensor systems for multimodal data acquisition and processing, as well as their simulation, complements a portfolio spanning high-resolution audio and video processing, sensor fusion, auralization, and 3D audio for interactive VR/AR/XR applications, 3D audio, and medical and industrial 3D processes.
About the TiME Lab
The TiME Lab was established in 2009 as a research, collaboration, and presentation platform for immersive media. It was equipped with a high-resolution 180° video projection and a wave-field-based 3D sound system. Today, the TiME Lab represents a range of systems and application areas that have been researched and implemented over the years. In addition to its initial use in media applications, the TiME Lab is now used for various industrial applications. It has become established as a platform for realistic audiovisual presentations of urban planning concepts, infrastructure construction and noise protection measures. The production and transmission chain for 360° video panoramas has also been further expanded, enabling live streaming into immersive spaces such as planetariums. In a proof-of-concept project in December 2021, a live concert from the “Kesselhaus” in Berlin was streamed into the planetarium in Bochum, which provided the impetus for further projects.
