An app for blind people to enable them to compose music! (M. Stolze)
This app is made for blind people, especially children and adolescents. By moving the phone and touching the screen, users can compose music. They can create tracks and fill the tracks with prerecorded notes from different instruments, e.g. guitars, drums etc. Songs can be saved, edited and played. Songs can also be uploaded to or downloaded from a server, so children can share their songs with their friends. The app allows blind children to be creative musicians!

Using visual cues for determining the position and orientation of a 3D visor (P. Pazour)
P. Pazour shows how to use Vuforia to detect QR-codes with a mobile phone, and use this to detect the position and orientation of the mobile phone. The phone is used as a 3D visor within Google cardboard. This way, not only the orientation, but also the position of the visor can be detected. Processing is solely done on the mobile phone!
The Entertainment Computing drone! (D. Mirk)
Fully autonomous drone, can send video footage live via UMTS!
Streaming a game from a server to a Web client by Web Sockets (C. Helf)
Steering a game solely by thought (D. Kuepper)
In this demo, D. Kuepper demonstrates how to use a consumer grade EEG to steer a game. The player can make a bird fly just by concentrating. The game might be used to train children with ADHS.
A fully virtual communication system using the Oculus Rift (B. Polzer)
Imagine a fully virtual video conference system, with participants wearing a 3D Visor covering the upper part of the face. Participants are represented by their virtual self, mouth is steered by real time capturing, the upper part is synthesized to fake realistic expressions.
