September is becoming our favorite month. For the past three years, we created a VR week in September, including a VR conference as well as this VR Pop Up Store in the heart of Berlin/Kreuzberg
Last week, we co-organized a conference for journalists, storytellers and creatives who are interested in telling their stories in an immersive way.
Last week, we unveiled the new version of our VR platform Fader. It features a new and improved editor and a 360º media library that allows you to share 360º media assets with other Fader users and browse through our public dataset of immersive content.
We went to several Healthcare Meetups over the past three weeks, showcasing our healthcare prototype and listening to talks about how VR can be utilized for healthcare purposes:
Two weeks ago, we co-hosted our 3rd VR Pop Up Store in Berlin.
Our product Fader has been co-funded by Google’s Digital News Initiative (DNI). We (Vragments) have been able to team up with Germany’s international broadcaster Deutsche Welle in Bonn and France-based international broadcaster euronews in Lyon to focus on defining user-driven feature requests, testing iterations with journalists and building a solid technical infrastructure to launch a platform for immersive storytelling. Fader is a journalistic product, enabling storytellers to create and publish 360º/VR stories easily and fast. For more than a year now, the DNI-team has been nothing but supportive,
This February, we (Vragments) teamed up with Deutsche Welle to create a VR experience that started in 2017 with an ideation workshop and continued with a prototype workshop.
Earlier this year, we conducted a VR workshop at Deutsche Welle AKADEMIE in Bonn, Germany. The participants wanted to learn more about immersive storytelling. Within two days, all DW trainees were able to come up with some very creative approaches to 360 narratives.
In December, we went to Potsdam for five days to create an AR prototype. This is the final post about how we went about it. You can read the first and the second part, in case you missed it. Our goal was to learn more about the technologies behind ARKit and ARCore, understand potential use cases and to build an app that users can try out. After going through Google’s UX design process methodology (steps are: Unpack, Sketch, Decide, Prototype, Test), we finally ended
Good news for all our Fader users: We have implemented a long-awaited feature that allows Fader creators to check their user analytics.
From sketching, deciding all the way to prototyping – this post is the second of three posts in which I’ll explain how we created our first AR prototype.
In December, we went to Potsdam for five days to create an AR prototype. This is how we went about it.
In cooperation with DW Innovation, Euronews, and numerous members of the international VR community, most notably VR/AR expo organizers DIGILITY, we launch the first VR/360 advent calendar today.
Last week, we held our third annual VR Conference for Journalism and Documentary.
We are honored to see that our VR project „Stasiverhöre – Manipulierte Geständnisse“ has been selected for Deutscher Radiopreis!
Three reports, published in 2015, 2016 and 2017, tell the story of an exciting medium and its road ahead.
Have you ever been interrogated? Are you aware of interrogation methods being used to get confessions? Yes? No? Have you ever heard of the REID method?
We have been working with the Center for Investigative Reporting on a first Fader use case for months. The outcome is incredible: A three episodes long mini VR series about Debbie McDaniel, a “woman with an extraordinary past.”
