Immersive technologies offer the possibility to combine the real world with virtual elements for an interactive experience. These installations, for example, used in museums and art exhibitions, often draw a wide audience but come with the drawback of being difficult to plan and execute.
Adding drones to these installations adds a whole new level of difficulty. They combine the complexities of projecting on uneven surfaces in real-time with dynamic interaction with the audience. The goal of “Immersive MTI” is to create a flexible framework for easier creation of interactive installations and rooms with a focus on dynamic, interactive, and immersive projection on moving drones.
“Immersive MTI” is a shared project between MIREVI, Sky Spirit GmbH, tennagels Medientechnik GmbH, and Capture-Beteiligungs-GmbH. To ensure that all components work together seamlessly, a scalable, camera-based Personen-Tracking-System is needed. For that. MIREVI develops a hybrid approach to tracking, combining marker-based and marker-free full-body tracking.
The project “Immersive MTI was developed within the innovation network AIMECA—artificial intelligence in medical care and is supported with 866,000 euros by Zentrale Innovationsprogramm MIttelstand (ZIM).
