Connected science in virtual reality (VR)
by Maximilian Burr & Cornelius Bartosch
This project makes science more approachable and encourages curiosity in exploring different fields of science in a visually appealing way. In virtual reality, users can enter a 3D virtual space filled with floating spheres, each representing a scientific publication. Using a hand controller, the user can navigate around and move closer to different spheres. When getting closer, more information about the scientific publication appears. Upon clicking on the title, users can read the entire publication. Related publications are also displayed.
Science Decoded
by Luca Barda
“Science Decoded” is a project dedicated to making science more accessible and trustworthy. In a world full of misinformation, we break down how science works, how scientists reach conclusions, and why the scientific process is worth trusting. By tackling common misconceptions and scepticist arguments, we aim to show that science isn’t just for experts—it’s for everyone.
You can see the results on the Instagram account.
Endometriosis lesson
by MS
A Lesson for pupils of the age of 15-17 years about endometriosis to raise awareness on the topic. Endometriosis is a common disease that is often only recognized late or even not at all due to a lack of knowledge about its existence in the general public as well as even some physicians. Awareness is very important, because the earlier endometriosis is diagnosed the better it can be treated. Therefore, pupils should be informed so they can recognise endometriosis for themselves or their friends. With endometriosis the endometrium spreads outside of the uterus and causes strong menstrual pain.
