Put me There: Teleportation in VR
Source: Put Me There Project
Virtual reality (VR) has developed into a promising technology that opens up new ways for people to interact with digital content. By putting on VR glasses, users are immersed in a virtual 3D environment that they can explore through natural body movements and direct interaction with their hands. In addition to games, VR is already being used successfully in a variety of ways, for example to train new skills, support medical procedures, preserve cultural heritage and evaluate architectural designs, to name just a few of the different areas of application.
However, most virtual environments in the various application areas are larger than the physical area in which a user can move around with VR glasses. Therefore, navigation techniques that move the user’s position through the environment purely virtually are crucial to enable unrestricted exploration.

On February 16, 2024, the IT Center opened its doors again for the Software Technology Fair, which is the highlight of the Software Technology module for the dual students of the Applied Mathematics and Computer Science degree program. The prospective mathematical-technical software developers (MATSE) had the opportunity to proudly present their practical projects.

In the first blog post on “Digitale Hochschule NRW” (DH.NRW), we gave you a general description of what the cooperation is exactly and what it deals with. You already know that RWTH Aachen University is one of the 42 participating universities.
In this article we would like to show you to what extent the IT Center is involved and which projects it is responsible for.

In the fast-paced world of high-performance computing (HPC), researchers and scientists are constantly seeking innovative solutions to enhance system performance and optimize resource utilization. One such endeavor is the targetDART project, a collaborative effort between the Technical University of Munich (TU Munich), the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), and several other academic, clinical, and industrial partners. With the aim of advancing dynamic task migration, targetDART is poised to push the boundaries of HPC capabilities.
EE-HPC – Open Source Solution Approaches for Monitoring and System Settings

High-performance computing (HPC) is now one of the fundamental research methods in many scientific disciplines, for example in climate modeling, astrophysics and biology. In Germany, all computing centers consume about 3% of the national electricity. Therefore, even small energy savings in data centers lead to relevant CO2 savings.
Due to this, the funding guideline of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research “GreenHPC” pursues the goal of strengthening the innovative power in Germany as a business location by improving the energy efficiency in high-performance computing in research and also in commercial data centers.
The EE-HPC project is testing an approach to improve the energy efficiency of HPC systems through automatic, job-specific regulation of system parameters and settings.

#MeetMeWednesday: Our blog series “The IT Center Picture Puzzle” is drawing to a close, and to cap it all off, we have a particularly interesting interview in store for you. This time, the IT Center Management, Professor Müller and Mr. Bündgens, answer our questions. They talk about their daily tasks as well as about exciting projects and developments that will soon take place at the IT Center.
By the way, the key word we were looking for was “leadership”. Could you guess it? Find out more in this article.

Finally the software technology fair could take place again in presence in the rooms of the IT Center. The prospective mathematical-technical software developers (MATSE) of the dual course of studies “Applied Mathematics and Computer Science” of the University of Applied Sciences Aachen presented their project work in the SWT fair on the premises of the IT Center of the RWTH Aachen University on February 22, 2023. In the 3rd semester of the course, the fair and the presentation of the projects form the conclusion of the software engineering module for the dual trainees. Which projects were presented this year and what the MATSE trainees learned, you can read in this after report.

Just a quick blink and 2022 is already over.
Now we are standing in the middle of the first chapter of 2023.
Last year was characterized by many changes, especially based on the motto “ away from online – towards presence”.
We are looking back at the past year and take you with us.

#MeetMeMittwoch: Recently, we started our series “The IT Center Picture Puzzle” and you were asked to form a word from four pictures that stand for a department of the IT Center.
The word we were looking for “administration” has already been uncovered, but you can read and discover about the corresponding interview, the introduction to the Finance, Human Resources & Organizational Support (FPO) department as well as exciting insights from the head of department Sarina Franzen and the deputy head of department Axel Taraschewski in this blog post! 🙂

MATSE show practical projects from dual study
For many years, the upcoming mathematical-technical software developers of the dual study program “Applied Mathematics and Computer Science” (MATSE) of the FH Aachen have presented their project work in an in-house fair at the IT Center. This year the presentation of the projects took place digitally on 22.02.2022. In the 3rd semester of their study, the dual trainees worked on practical projects in small groups in the module “Software Technology” of Prof. Bodo Kraft. The trade fair and the presentation of the projects form the conclusion of the module for the trainees. Read the rest of this entry »
