BugSim
"BugSim" is a collaboration between artist Theo Triantafyllidis and Mirevi. The artwork is a self-contained ecosystem that has been translated into AR and works as a real-time application. It is presented at AR Biennale 2023, where visitors will be able to influence and interact with this peacefully running and ongoing autonomous circuit.

WDR Klima App
Climate change is ubiquitous, the summer of 2022 is at its driest and in recent years each new low was seamlessly followed by the next one. Therefore, it is crucial to give more weight to the topic of climate change in education. To encourage this, we developed the WDR Klima App, which creates an immersive AR experience for students and can be downloaded via the app store.

kin_
Challenges and possibilities for the production of digital performance art were considered in the AR dance piece kin_ developed by the MIREVI team. The interactive mixed reality dance performance is a piece with up to three moving avatars and audience, developed for augmented reality to download as an app on the user's own device from the AppStore.

Smarthome AR
In this research project, we try to find out what kind of added value AR (augmented reality) may offer for a smart-home application. To answer this question, we have created a 3D model of an existing sitting area with a sofa and we work with smart-home sensors that enable us to control various aspects.

Magic AR
For this project, we collaborated with Simon Pierro who is known as the “iPad magician”. During his performances, he combines the possibilities of digitization with magic tricks. Together we discussed how people might be able to enjoy his magic at home in a more immersive and exciting way than merely watching a video.

Exhibition Design
In this field, everything revolves around conceptional work, project management and exhibition design. All projects aim at complementing existing exhibitions by means of the diverse and innovative possibilities offered by modern technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) or project mapping. For this purpose, digital installations that enhance the present experience are developed.

War Children: Using AR in a Documentary Context
The goal of the project “War Children” is to tell stories of survivors of the SecondWorldWar by means of augmented reality. We want to make memories persistent, accessible and comprehensible to users that do not yet have access to these memories, e. g. , digital natives. The application of immersive technologies provides us with new ways to tell stories about the past in an empathic way by augmenting the narration with audio-visual assets.

Classification of Beyond-Natural Interaction Techniques in Spatial Human-Computer Interaction (Poster)
In the context of spatial user interfaces for virtual or augmented reality, many interaction techniques and metaphors are referred to as being (super-)natural, magical or hyper-real. However, many of these terms have not been defined properly, such that classification and distinction between those interfaces is often not possible. We propose a new classification system which can be used to identify those interaction techniques and relate them to reality-based and abstract interaction techniques.
