Open House at TU Dortmund University – A Success

In early November, the Professorship Digital Transformation welcomed numerous visitors and immersed them in digital technologies.
The horizontal photograph depicts a scene in a spacious, well-lit foyer of a public building, likely a university or school due to the architecture. The floor features distinctive reddish-brown hexagonal tiling throughout. In the center foreground, two individuals are actively using white Virtual Reality headsets and holding controllers. They are standing inside a designated square area marked on the floor with purple tape. Inside this square, strips of green tape spell out the large letters "VR". The person closest to the viewer is wearing a dark jacket, light grey jeans, and carrying an olive-green backpack. To their left, the second VR user is dressed in dark clothing. A third man, dressed entirely in black, stands just outside the designated zone, watching the users. To the right of the image, a young man with light hair, wearing a white cable-knit sweater and dark grey jeans, leans against a high round table. He is looking down at papers or a device, with a coffee cup sitting on the table in front of him. The background reveals a glass-walled structure on the left, tables set up with laptops and yellow chairs, and a central circular pillar covered in flyers and notices. Further back, exposed brick walls, large windows letting in daylight, and other people sitting at tables are visible. The ceiling is white with recessed circular lights.

Recap of our DiWoDo workshop

As part of Digital Week Dortmund (DiWoDo), we held a workshop at the Chair of Digital Transformation at TU Dortmund University.
The landscape-format photo captures a presentation taking place in a bright, modern seminar or meeting room. On the right side of the image, a male presenter stands in profile, facing left towards the audience. He has short, curly brown hair, wears glasses, a blue blazer over a white shirt, and blue jeans. He is gesturing with both hands whilst holding a presentation clicker in his right hand. Behind him is a large digital flat-screen display mounted on a rolling stand. The slide being presented features the green headline "Virtuelle Gärten – Einsatzmöglichkeiten" (Virtual Gardens – Application Possibilities) and shows the logo of TU Dortmund in the top right corner. The slide content is divided into four quadrants displaying images and graphics related to Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) applications on smartphones and computer monitors. On the left side of the image, the audience is seated at a configuration of white tables. In the immediate foreground, with their back to the camera, is the head of a person with reddish-brown hair tied in a bun, wearing a black sweater. Further back sits a man with grey-flecked hair and a beard, wearing a grey hoodie, who is looking attentively at the speaker. A glass water carafe and several glasses are placed on the table in front of him. In the background on the far left, another man wearing glasses and a blue shirt is seated on a dark grey sofa. The room is functionally furnished: in the background, a white shelving unit holding silver cases and yellow stacking bins is visible, alongside a large green houseplant (Monstera) in the corner. Framed pictures hang on the white walls, and long fluorescent light fixtures are mounted on the ceiling.

Das Bild zeigt eine Person, die von der Seite und leicht von hinten an einem Schreibtisch in einem dunkel gehaltenen Raum sitzt. Die Szene ist in atmosphärisches, neonartiges Licht getaucht, mit einem kräftigen grünen Schein von links und einem kühlen blauen Licht von rechts. Die Person trägt eine futuristisch anmutende, leuchtende Cyber-Brille und schaut konzentriert auf zwei vor ihr stehende Computer. Auf dem größeren Desktop-Monitor sowie auf dem links daneben stehenden Laptop ist derselbe Bildschirmhintergrund zu sehen: In der Mitte prangt das Wort "METAVERSE" in einer modernen, serifenlosen Schrift, umgeben von einem leuchtenden, blauen, geometrischen Symbol. Die Hände der Person ruhen auf der Tastatur und der Computermaus, was auf eine aktive Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema hindeutet. Im unscharfen Hintergrund ist eine minimalistische, leuchtende Tischlampe zu erkennen, die das futuristische und technologisch geprägte Ambiente der Szene verstärkt.
