Pixel on pixel: Glasses on, lights off, and the journey has started
Over the oceans with Darwin on the Beagle. The waves spray, and the swooping gulls virtually graze the tip of your nose – close enough to touch. The 3D dome cinema at Fraunhofer FIRST presents “Darwin’s mystery of mysteries” – a test show in the test dome. Here, the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Architecture and Software Technology (FIRST) presents its latest developments in the automated calibration of projector clusters. The... [more]

So for a long time now, the... [mehr]
Harvesting energy:
A network coordinated by Adlershof computer scientists is working on how to harness ambient energy so that sensors, radio modules, and computer processes can perform complex health sector, facility management and logistics tasks without the need for an external power supply. We are surrounded by energy – we just need to tap into it. Sunlight, vibrations, heat – when we press a switch, we expend enough energy to transmit a radio signal. Power... [mehr]
Multicoloured computer sciences:
