Research Room

Various technical equipment comes together in the research and conference room C202. In order to maintain the required flexibility that enables the multifaceted use of the GameLab as well as the BZQM, the room was equipped with rollable and foldable tables that allow everything from seminar or conference settings to group-oriented ludic situations to tableless open space. Following the same requirements, a truss was installed on the ceiling that can be equipped with cameras, sensors, lights, microphones, etc. as needed. This keeps the floor free of cables and thus offers the greatest possible freedom of movement for experiments.

In addition, the room also contains the PowerWall, a five-by-two-meter projection surface that can display content via two high-resolution projectors and can be used for seminars, conferences, meetings or experiments as needed.

The technical infrastructure is currently still under construction, with the following installations planned:
