Inside Immersion: The Immersive Reality Lab Now Has a Podcast
Today we are launching Inside Immersion, the podcast of the Immersive Reality Lab at Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences. In each episode, Jan-Niklas Voigt-Antons talks with the people who work on one of our research projects: what the project does, how it works and who it is for.
Research usually reaches the public as papers, posters and project pages. They tell you what came out of a project. A conversation can also tell you why the team made the choices it did and which questions are still open, from user research and accessibility to privacy and the ethics of building systems for real people.
The first episodes
- Welcome to the Lab: Season One Preview (3 min). A short trailer on why we started the podcast and what season one covers.
- ARiadne: Finding Your Way with AR, Sound and Touch (16 min), with Juliane Henning. How augmented reality, spatial sound and haptic cues can help pedestrians find their way, and how to guide people without competing for their attention.
- DIDYMOS-XR: Digital Twins That Keep Up with Reality (18 min), with Francesco Vona. How sensor data, artificial intelligence and extended reality keep a digital twin up to date, and why privacy, human oversight and testing with real users matter as much as the technology.
You can start with the trailer right here:
What comes next
Season one continues with DigiOnTrack, SilentBedMonitor and MIA-PROM. A new episode is released on the first day of every month. The episodes are in English.
Where to listen
Inside Immersion is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Podigee, and in any podcast app via its RSS feed. Our podcast page lists all episodes, and the project pages of ARiadne and DIDYMOS-XR now include their episode as well.
Many thanks to Juliane Henning and Francesco Vona for the first conversations.
