Metaversed!

The “Metaversed! – Immersive Hackathon” is from the Bochum core activity
“Hotspot of Immersive Live Culture” emerged, a municipal strategic development focus,
which I conceived in 2018 and led over its duration from 2019 to 2021.

Promoting innovation in the area of ​​shared immersion was an essential part
the application to promote the strategic development focus. Against this background I have
I contacted the initiators of the Places VR Festival in 2018 and set up the planetarium
represented there with the motto “VR without glasses”. This emerged from discussions with the Places VR team
the idea for the Immersive Hackathon, which was held for the first time in 2021 and changed in 2022
The concept went into its second edition with an accompanying program for regular planetarium visitors.
Under the motto “Metaversed!”, talents developed projects within 24 hours that were in the
Virtual reality glasses and the planetarium dome can be experienced.

In addition to initiating the planetarium's collaboration with Places VR and conceptual-organizational
Contributions, I have the realization of the project, which also marks the first collaboration of the planetarium
with the Bochum Art Museum, managed by the planetarium and for the event
the visual appearance developed.
