At LeWeb 2013, Eightly is launched, presented for the first time. The idea is to make it easy for anyone to create iPad/iPhone and Android apps/experiences just by filling out a form, or/and by dragging and dropping actions, events, rules, parameters, sources of content, links etc onto an experience creator user interface. The idea to provide wiziwig type of UI for people to create apps for Smartphones, Tablets, Set-top-boxes, Smart Watches and more. When you create a channel inside of Eightly, you can assemble and combine experiences, features, designs, while Eightly thus combines those features using their smooth graphics accelerated native code user interfaces and fill them out with the contents and ideas that people have and want to share on smart devices with their friends, family, perhaps also for businesses to share their ideas to customers also.

7K 3D panoramic video, immersive audio at the TiME Lab at the Fraunhofer HHI in Berlin Germany
The TiME Lab offers a unique and unrivalled blend of 3D panoramic projection in 7k resolution combined with a wave field synthesis (WFS) sound system consisting of a circle of 140 loudspeakers fixed around the auditorium. This system allows the audience to plunge deeply into the animations and sound worlds surrounding them as the 180 degree panoramic projection in 3D takes in the whole field of human vision while the sound mix for the WFS system offers an unparalleled feeling of immersion.
TiME Lab is designed as an open platform. To this end, Fraunhofer HHI has invited high-level partners in the arts, culture, media, showroom architecture, and other creative industries to contribute and explore new, innovative content and applications for the TiME Lab system. These include the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, which has been a TiME Lab partner since 2009.

Fraunhofer HHI 3D Innovation Center
3D as cinema magic – is just the beginning! A broad array of research bodies ranging from research institutes, private sector development labs and universities to radio stations and TV companies and telecoms are now engaged in planning and developing 3D production, 3D content, and 3D distribution. Yet most of these initiatives are standalone with little or no contact between them. The 3D Innovation Center Berlin offers the whole cast of actors a platform and a pre-competitive environment where they can exchange views and opinions, build contacts, put their products and systems to the test and present them jointly to a diversity of target audiences. The ready availability of know-how covering the whole 3D systems chain will generate new synergies – in terms of product development, marketing and sales as well as market positioning and public relations.
The 3D Innovation Center Berlin is:
– a showroom for products, prototypes and ideas
– a development platform and testbed for 3D technologies, applications and infrastructures
– an R&D lab for projects, innovations and standards
– a communication platform for providers, users and the general public
– a transfer platform for expertise and professional training
– a marketing instrument for advertising, sales and PR
– a pool of resources for experts, know-how, and marketing and target audience data etc.
The establishment and organization of the 3D Innovation Center is in the hands of the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, The 3D Innovation Center is planned to operate for an initial period of five years. The start-up phase of the 3D Innovation Center is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi).
