Youth researchYoung scientists honored
A robotic sparring partner for boxing training, the Internet of Things for the home or a camera that always shoots blur-free films thanks to motors and position sensors - the creativity of the young researchers at the 51st national finals knew no bounds. Now the winners have been announced.
Tobias Gerbracht (18) from Wuppertal has succumbed to the fascination of augmented reality: he wants to use this three-dimensional, virtual representation of objects for particularly impressive marketing presentations at trade fair stands. To do this, viewers have to wear special glasses. Instead, the young researcher has developed a compact AR projector and applied for a patent. Using a projector, he projects the previously calculated hologram of an object onto a glass pane the size of a PC screen. This display makes the 3D impression possible from many different angles. In order to make the housing as compact as possible, Gerbracht has used special software and computing methods.
