Düsseldorf has long been a vibrant hub of German music and youth culture. From underground warehouse parties to legendary clubs, the city has shaped movements that have had an impact far beyond its borders. At MIREVI, we wanted to understand: How can we bring this cultural heritage into the present—by using immersive media to transform history into an experience?

On Wednesday, October 30th, we embarked on an inspiring excursion to the “PLANET OCEAN” exhibition at the Gasometer Oberhausen with students from the "Digital Nature" and "Mixed Reality Art" courses. This visit presented a valuable opportunity to elevate the goals and content of both courses in a practical setting. The aim of this excursion was not only to provide students with insights into the fascinating world of the oceans but also to encourage them to draw inspiration from the natural phenomena and artistic presentations for their own projects.

Good news from the classroom! The WDR climate app recently won silver at the Deutscher Digital Award. This award not only confirms the thematic relevance of the app, but also the innovative implementation using augmented reality technology, which impressed the jury.
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.
In this project, we aimed at finding out whether ”hackathons‟, collaborative events for developing software in a comparatively short amount of time, can be an effective tool for creating innovative prototypes.
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.
