Discover Darmstadt
Data Space for Tourism (DSFT)
Feb. 2023 - Oct. 2023
This project will pave the way for the future deployment of the DSFT that will allow for increased access to data for all tourism sector stakeholders across the EU. By providing access to information throughout the European tourism ecosystem, there will be substantial increases in productivity, sustainability, innovation, and upskilling within the sector.
The DSFT shall become a great tool for increasing the resiliency of the tourism sector and the preparedness for future, unknown challenges. The consortium hopes to establish standards for data interoperability by providing the foundation for an open platform upon which to build state-of-the-art AI applications. Furthermore, environmentally responsible and energy-efficient technical solutions to support the attainment of the European Green Deal sustainability goals will be prioritised.
A project of Modul University Vienna, City Destinations Alliance, European Travel Commission, and ForwardKeys as part of the EU Digital Europe Programme.

darmstadtPilot project #ABCforJobs
Nov. 2021 - Oct. 2024
Advancing digitalisation has changed the world of work and especially the organisation of production and work processes. Work-oriented literacy and digital skills are thus becoming increasingly important, even for low-skilled professions. GFFB gemeinnützige GmbH has taken the lead in launching the model project #ABCforJobs with a total of twelve cooperation partners. It concentrates regionally on the Rhine-Main area and southern Hesse with a focus on hotels and restaurants as well as air transport services - sectors in which low-skilled employees are confronted with the digitalisation of work processes. The aim is to reach low-skilled workers and the unemployed in order to strengthen their continued employment or re-employment in the long term.
The consortium is made up of representatives from education, companies, chambers of commerce and industry and professional associations, labour market promotion, a university and a continuing education association and aims to establish a networked advisory infrastructure. Counselling and qualification in the field of work-oriented basic education are thus to be further developed and anchored in the region in the long term.

(SPA), MODUL University Vienna (ÖST) and associated partner Darmstadt Marketing, Amsterdam Economic Board, Visit Belgrade, Göteborg & Co., City of Stavanger & Regionstavanger and Valencia Tourism.
Project summary:
Tourism generates revenue and employment in cities, but also causes overcrowding, pollution, noise, etc. SCITHOS develops guidelines, aids and simulations (with apps and serious games methods) that help cities solve these problems - with the active involvement of the population. The latter is crucial because improving the quality of life of a city can only be achieved by taking into account the wishes and needs of the residents.

dARsein - Discover Darmstadt with Augmented Reality
2011
In cooperation with Fraunhofer IGD, the app "dARsein" the world's first augmented reality app, was developed, which recognizes a 3D object (Haus Olbrich) in the outdoor area - regardless of the weather, light or shadow setting - and at the same time, historical images and sketches, are overlaid.
If the natural reality is blended with additional information, it is called Augmented Reality (AR). Developed by the researchers of Fraunhofer IGD, the world's leading research institute for applied visual computing, the technique determines the position and viewing direction of captured photos and selects the appropriate historical material in real time. "The application dARsein processes natural image features and thus recognizes three-dimensional objects, such as buildings," explains Dr. med. Ulrich Bockholt, Head of Department "Virtual and Augmented Reality" at Fraunhofer IGD. "Pictures, texts and graphics can be placed in the correct position via a photo taken with the mobile phone."
Visitors to the Mathildenhöhe were able to view the original design sketches or historical images as a superimposition of the current building. Past and present have been made comparable. Watch a video of dARsein here.
Avatar Lili
2006
As early as 2006, Darmstadt Marketing worked with a female avatar in an image film about Darmstadt. The Darmstadt avatar "Lili", in homage to the lily in the Darmstadt coat of arms, led through Darmstadt's culture and provided interesting insights into the virtual developments that were emerging in the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research (IGD).
