20.11.2024 AI Congress Traunstein

Innovation on site: Campus Chiemgau inspires at the AI Congress

On November 20, 2024, the innovation laboratory of Campus Chiemgau presented impressive projects at the AI Congress Traunstein.

Highlights included the wheat beer robot, which automatically poured perfect wheat beer, and VR glasses that brought virtual worlds to life. The digital Lindl and the digital twin of a Ferrari engine showed the versatility of student innovations – from artificial intelligence to mixed reality.

These projects illustrated how practically relevant future technologies are being developed at Campus Chiemgau. An inspiring day that connects innovation and home!

15.11.2024 Staff event at meine Volksbank Raiffeisenbank eG

An incredible experience at the employee event of my local cooperative bank! We had the great honor of being there with our digitization program and presenting our innovation lab projects.

Together with our talented students Matheus Lenzi dos Santos, Daniel Rendon, Vinay Tummala and Kussai Al Jairoudi, we provided unforgettable moments. The highlights?

Our “Weißbier-Roboter 2.0” – a true social media star! ???? It poured wheat beer on a loop and thrilled employees, who captured it in countless videos.✨

Virtual Reality Experience: “The Plank” – pure adrenaline! Employees dared to take the virtual balancing act and surpassed themselves.

Avatar “Ritter Lindl” – a digital city guide from Traunstein who thrilled with fascinating stories.

Digital twin of a Ferrari engine – an interactive highlight in mixed reality that made engine parts within reach!

A huge thank you to Wolfgang Altmüller and Elisabeth Häckl for the invitation and organization! And of course to our great student team – you made the evening a complete success!

08.10.2024 Innovation lab presents digital innovations at the German Embassy in Rome

Innovation laboratory Campus Chiemgau of the Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences presents digital projects at the German Embassy in Rome

Traunstein/Rome, October 8, 2024 – This year, the Bavarian State Ministry supported the German Embassy in Rome in celebrating the Day of German Unity. As part of this event, the innovation laboratory at the Campus Chiemgau of the Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences, Traunstein campus, was invited to participate with digital projects. Professor Andreas Straube, head of the international master's program in Advanced Industrial Engineering, presented three outstanding student projects that were developed in agile teams during the summer semester.

Student project leaders Stefan Ilic, Adhik Namo and Vinay Tummala traveled to Rome to present their innovative work:

  1. Collaborative robot for automated wheat beer dispensing

In collaboration with the Hofbräuhaus Traunstein, the students developed a robot that can automatically pour wheat beer. This project demonstrates the practical application of automation technologies in everyday processes. The Hofbräuhaus provided the necessary beverages for this.

  1. Digital twin of a Ferrari 340 Vignale Coupé

In cooperation with the restoration company Tom Fischer Classic Cars in Brannenburg, the students created a digital twin of a 1951 Ferrari 340 America Vignale Coupé. The vehicle's twelve-cylinder engine was scanned and assembled in a virtual environment. With the help of virtual reality glasses, guests in Rome were able to see the engine in a collaborative application, disassemble it and discuss technical details.

  1. The digital Lindl – augmented reality in Traunstein

The digital Lindl, a historically significant figure from Traunstein, was developed as an augmented reality avatar that tells stories about the city. Via smartphones or tablets, this avatar can appear next to museum exhibits and provide child-friendly explanations.

A highlight of the event was the visit of Minister of State Eric Beißwenger, who was given a detailed explanation of the projects and spoke with the students. Many thanks go to Dr. Julian Traut and Dr. Alexander Wegmaier for organizing the event on behalf of the ministry.

For the students of the Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences and their supervising professor Andreas Straube, the presentation in Rome was a unique opportunity to present their innovative ideas to an international audience and to make valuable contacts. It was a great honor to represent Bavaria at this prestigious event.

27.09.2024 DIVR XR Science Award in Dortmund

We are very pleased to have been invited to the prestigious DIVR XR Science Award in Dortmund! This prize, organized by the German Institute for Virtual Reality, recognizes outstanding projects in the fields of augmented reality, mixed reality and virtual reality.

Our student team was nominated for the first time with an amazing project from the summer semester: they developed a digital twin of a classic automobile.

With the support of Tom Fischer Classic Cars, a well-known restoration workshop for classic Italian vehicles, and the Classic Meets Future initiative, the students scanned parts of a V12 engine from a 1951 Ferrari. They then virtually reassembled the engine and made it interactively experienceable in a mixed-reality environment. Users can disassemble the engine, explore it, and view it in more detail in an “exploded view” – an innovative and educational experience!

Participating in the event was a great opportunity for us to network with researchers and innovators in the XR world. We are excited to see where this experience will take us!

A big thank you to our dedicated student team:
