At the Places _ VR Festival, we will bring these possibilities to life for you: our <a href=\"https:\/\/places-festival.de\/en\/experience-_-places\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">program partners<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/places-festival.de\/en\/places-talks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">speakers<\/a> and the participants of the <a href=\"https:\/\/places-festival.de\/en\/divr-award-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DIVR Science Award<\/a> will take you into the world of VR learning.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629460683544{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629461835852{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]Learning how to make a good virtual reality application while you are in such an application is possible with the online learning platform &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/places-festival.de\/en\/portfolio-posts\/immersive-insiders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">immersive insiders<\/a>&#8221; and the corresponding application &#8220;Course Results&#8221;.<br \/>\nHere you will learn how a functional AR\/VR application should optimally look and be developed. Important technical aspects such as high FPS, texturing and shadows as well as interaction possibilities are addressed.<br \/>\nIf you want to learn more about this exciting application and about training and learning in the VR\/AR world, then you should definitely check out the speaker appearance of <a href=\"https:\/\/places-festival.de\/en\/portfolio-posts\/dinesh-punni\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dinesh Punni<\/a>, founder of &#8220;Immersive insights&#8221;![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;19232&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629461872149{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]Create a VR application without much programming effort? That&#8217;s possible with the &#8220;VRLearningLab-Framework&#8221; application from the software company <a href=\"https:\/\/places-festival.de\/en\/portfolio-posts\/triboot-technologies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Triboot<\/a> in M\u00fclheim. Here, anyone can easily put together VR learning applications and publish them with self-sufficient glasses such as the Oculus Quest or Pico Neo Eye. The VR Anatomy Lab shows what such an application can look like. By displaying anatomical models, medical students are helped to learn anatomical terms.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629461926894{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]Standing on an offshore wind turbine at a dizzying height while performing a repair &#8211; sounds very adventurous at first. But before you venture into such a scenario, you should first practise. And the best way to do that is in virtual space, without the danger of falling. The VR game &#8220;Marla &#8211; Masters of Malfunction&#8221; from the Technical University of Berlin provides the ideal platform for this. Here, apprentices from the fields of electrical and metal engineering can train their competence in fault diagnosis without having to bring along specialist knowledge in wind energy. If they have any questions or uncertainties, an educational assistant helps them.<br \/>\nThe application is nominated in the <a href=\"https:\/\/places-festival.de\/en\/divr-award-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DIVR Science Award<\/a> in the category Best Tech. The award is presented annually by the Places _ VR Festival and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.divr.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Institute for Virtual Reality<\/a> and honours the most innovative concepts for VR applications that have been created in research and at universities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629461971264{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]Another participant in the <a href=\"https:\/\/places-festival.de\/en\/divr-award-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DIVR <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/places-festival.de\/en\/divr-award-2021\/\">Science <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/places-festival.de\/en\/divr-award-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Award<\/a> is the Mixed Reality-in-the-Loop Simulation (MRiLS) at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences. X-in-the-loop simulation is used in mechanical and plant engineering to test and try out a new system in a simulation before it is manufactured and put into operation. In MRiLS simulation, X-in-the-Loop simulation is extended with visualisation and interaction methods of Mixed Reality. This enables intuitive multimodal and terminal-independent training of technical specialists and low-threshold configurability of the MRiLS models.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;19234&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629462026486{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]The company <a href=\"https:\/\/places-festival.de\/en\/portfolio-posts\/neomatt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Neomatt<\/a> from Essen relies on a playful VR learning world for schools and company training courses.
