ZEITENWENDE
is the topic of this year’s OWF.ZUKUNFT – the East German Economic Forum – on 20./21. May 2019 in Bad Saarow.
The fall of the wall marks the 30th anniversary of 2019. The turnaround that gave birth to the new federal states and a united Berlin has been completed. The process of alignment between East and West has been stagnating for years. However, megatrends, which, after 30 years of German unity, pose new challenges for the new federal states as well as for all of Germany.
• The digital transformation affects all areas of life.
• The global economy loses its proven multilateral rules of the game.
• Climate change shifts priorities.
Here are the chances for the East German economy to gain a head start.
The Initiative Wirtschaft.Wachstum.Zukunft,
which unites the partners of OWF.ZUKUNFT, is therefore dedicated to the future prospects of the East German economy with new ideas for the agenda of politics and business. The initiative is a network for all strategically interested parties.

Our Digital Selves in a Post-Reality Era
2019-04-07 09:55 - 22:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | NAB Show, NAB Show, 3150 Paradise Rd, Las vegas, NV, 89109, United States
In 2016, a dead man acted in a Star Wars film. Peter Cushing, passed away in 1994 but a CG likeness of him was painstakingly recreated from individual frames to perform his scenes in Rogue One. Today, it is common place to scan important actors at various stages of the filmmaking process, this is both to aid VFX and also in case something were to change the actors’ appearance (ie. mortality, or a moustache). But what happens to these assets when we die? Can actor’s continue to perform posthumously? Who owns our digital likenesses? The Studio? The film? What happens if they become public domain?

NAB Show 2019
2019-04-06 - 2019-04-11 | NAB Show, NAB Show, 3150 Paradise Rd, Las vegas, NV, 89109, United States
Together with the Fraunhofer institut, Volucap will present volumetric recording technology at the NAB Show this year.
Volumetric recording technology is a novel and uniquely integrated 360-degree multi-camera capture and lighting system for the creation of highly realistic volumetric video content of moving persons. A set of 16 stereo cameras create 3D information from all different viewpoints around the person. This 3D information is then fused and transformed into a consistent, natural and dynamic 3D representation of the person. The automatically computed sequence of meshes can be integrated in VR and AR applications. The capture system supports diffuse lighting from any direction, which offers best possible conditions for re-lighting of the dynamic 3D models, afterwards, at design stage of the virtual reality experience.
