Institutes Visits

We have arranged coach buses to transport participants to the Fraunhofer IAO or Max Planck Institutes from and returning to the conference venue. If you prefer to drive your own car, directions can be found below.

Please also inform the registration desk.

• Fraunhofer: https://www.iao.fraunhofer.de/lang-de/images/anfahrt/how_to_find_us_iao.pdf
  Fraunhofer IAO will also show three labs: The Visual Technologies lab, highlighting collaborative VR and Interactive Surfaces such as the 2D/3D projection table and the large-scale FusionWall tiled display; The Immersive Engineering Lab, a VR projection environment integrating a 5,5 m wide Powerwall with a 4-sided CAVE; The0 Driving Research Lab featuring a full size immersive driving simulator. The High Performance Computing Center of Stuttgart University will open its visualization Lab, highlighting leading-edge VR and visualization research in its 5-sided CAVE and tiled display wall.

The address is: Fraunhofer-Institut für Arbeitswirtschaft und Organisation IAO, Nobelstraße 12, 70569 Stuttgart

• Max Planck Institutes: http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/institute/address/find.html
  At Max Planck participants can tour through the VR labsMPI for Intelligent Systems. The Cyberneum is a state-of-the-art Virtual Reality (VR) research facility, equipped with several sophisticated VR systems providing unique opportunities to study human perception and human-machine interaction. This includes two novel, in-house designed simulators – the CyberMotion Simulator and the Cable Robot Simulator. The MPI for Intelligent Systems houses a 4D full-body scanner. With this scanner a precise 3D avatar, the virtual equivalent of a person, can be reproduced as well as fully record the body and its movements in space and time in high-definition
