The Long Night of Science
JUN 2024
22
Berlin, Germany

The Long Night of Science (LNDW) will take place on Saturday, June 22, 2024. From 5 p.m. to midnight, scientific and science-related institutions in Berlin invite visitors to take a look behind the scenes and experience science and research first-hand.
The Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI) is taking part in LNDW 2024. Visitors will gain insights into our current research.
Canceled: Data transfer with LiFi
LiFi (Light Fidelity) is a technology that enables wireless data transmission using light. We will demonstrate how a LiFi system works and in which application scenarios LiFi can be a powerful alternative to Wi-Fi. LiFi is used as a supplement to radio, especially where there is a higher user density and more capacity is required.
The world of fiber optic communication
Secret messages and secure communication

Discover the fascinating world of encryption and learn how to encrypt a message. Find out why exchanging a secure key is essential and how encryption techniques can protect your personal data.
Quantum encryption
Delve into the world of quantum physics and find out how it will enable secure communication in the future. You will receive an easy-to-understand introduction to the exciting world of quantum communication with an interactive live demo. Discover how such devices work and have fun doing it.
How does AI make decisions?
Dynamic Exposure Visualization App

Introducing our mobile app DEVA. It is able to measure environmental information such as air pollution and traffic information recorded by public sensors and then visualize it using augmented reality.
Virtual Reality Experience

We present our virtual reality projects with Holocaust survivors Ernst Grube and Eva Umlauf. We recorded the survivors using volumetric video technology to create a lifelike 3D representation. The resulting volumetric video is a walk-through film in which the survivors describe their experiences during National Socialism.
Volumetric Video Streaming

Showcasing an interactive, high-quality volumetric video streaming for cloud-based mixed reality over 5G. The interactive XR experience shows a photorealistic volumetric representation of humans. As the user moves around the scene, the virtual human follows the user with their head, giving the impression of real interaction. The virtual human is animated in real time using AI-based techniques that apply media patterns retrieved from a remote device to generate facial expressions.
