Sometimes I love Real Reality



After my retirement from teaching and research at Bremen University in 2010, I enjoy the rediscovery of some personal roots. Restoring an old farmhouse under monument-protection in the country side some 100 km from Berlin, my familly has the chance to live Art-Work-Technology of mixed real and virtual worlds in the nature of Havelland. Our old barn provides large spaces to experiment with a merging of real and virtual objects by duplication and continuation.

We love quests and the development of games. Can you find out what we mean here?

Sound from Nature
Sound for Transition
Sound To Start
Variations1 of PI
Variations2 of PI
Variations3 of PI

And we love experiments



What about CyberphysicalS?

My understanding of Cyberphysical Systems Research does not follow the path of embedded systems or cyber-physics, where some controlling (cyber) microprocessors are acting via interfaces on some sensed physical environment in which they are embedded. We aim at the continuation of phenomena between the real and the virtual. To use an old metaphore of Ivan Sutherland (1965) in his "Ultimate Display", we seek means, how to let the virtual ball, shot by a virtual soccer team, be continued into the real playing ground as a real ball.

The Ultimate Wall
Our Hyper-Bond concept is a first step into that direction.
