Youth research 2017Young researchers called to the 52nd round
"The future - I'm shaping it!" - This is the motto for a new round of the youth research competition. Young people who enjoy and are interested in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology can now apply with their research project.
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.
