Into the fourth dimension with Carl Friedrich - an evening of virtual reality at the Lehngericht

Location

entrance free

For one evening, the ballroom of the Augustusburg Fief Court will be transformed into a space beyond the boundaries of classical perception: Kulturwerk Schneeberg is presenting its project on four-dimensional Gaussian splatting with computer science students from the University of Applied Sciences Zwickau. On Wednesday, visitors will experience how modern virtual reality utilises and combines mathematical concepts, barrier-free innovations and old traditions.

The evening is aimed at anyone who is interested in not only looking at virtual four-dimensionality, but also trying it out. The students will provide insights into the development of the project, explain the basics of photogrammetric scanning in 3 and 4 dimensions and show how historical concepts of the method's namesake can create multidimensional spaces and help to preserve history today.

The project was developed as part of a course at Zwickau University of Applied Sciences and is supported by Kulturwerk Schneeberg in terms of curation and content. The presentation in the Lehngericht shows how university teaching, innovative regional cultural work and creative technologies enter into dialogue with each other.

The event evening offers space to try things out, ask questions and be amazed. It combines didactic elements with low-threshold access and makes it clear that VR is a tool that can be used to rethink historical, social and scientific content in equal measure.
