Experience Technology, Shape the Future

Hands-On XR Assistance: Visoric Rethinks Industrial Assembly

Visoric enabled visitors to dive into the world of immersive industrial processes using the Apple Vision Pro and a LEGO model. At a hands-on station, young and old alike could experience how mixed reality can support the assembly of complex objects. Virtual components were overlaid step by step and combined with real manual actions. What is usually only visible in assembly instructions became an interactive learning experience.

• XR meets LEGO: Digital guidance meets tactile experience.
• Industry comes alive: Visoric demonstrates real-world applications for smart factories.
• Technology for all: From kids to professionals – innovation to try out.

Visitors were especially fascinated by the intuitive connection between digital instructions and real actions. Precise overlays of information in the field of view created a workflow reminiscent of professional industrial applications – including error prevention, step-by-step guidance, and instant success.

At the same time, the format highlighted the potential XR technologies hold for education, production, and knowledge transfer. Visoric demonstrated not only technological expertise but also how immersive systems can make complex content accessible – for children and professionals alike.

Experiences like this show how XR technology can foster not just efficiency, but also enthusiasm for technology. This playful use of XR illustrated how extended reality is already supporting real industrial processes today.

Robots Go Karting: Experience Autonomous Systems Live

Another crowd-puller was the autonomous go-kart with a humanoid robot by TNG. Equipped with cameras and LiDAR sensors, the machine navigated the course independently. The robot’s feet controlled the pedals while its hands steered – a glimpse into robotic assistance in urban environments.

• Autonomous driving: Driving maneuvers guided by sensors and AI.
• Robot control made visible: Machine operation up close.
• Excitement for technology: Enthusiasm from kids, parents, and professionals alike.

The autonomous go-kart demo thrilled visitors of all ages, combining playful entertainment with cutting-edge robotics research. The humanoid robot, navigating the course independently using real-world sensors, offered an impressive glimpse into the potential of AI-driven mobility in urban environments. It was more than just a showcase — it was a tangible experience of the future of intelligent machines.

Technologies like these make it tangible where mobility, robotics, and human-machine interaction are headed in the coming years.

For Young Explorers: Astronomy, Technology, and Hands-On Fun

The next generation also had plenty to discover at the festival. The Munich Public Observatory was present with its own stations, offering views into distant galaxies. Meanwhile, the Gerda Stetter Foundation hosted technology workshops designed to inspire young people to engage with science.

• Stars explained: Public observatory makes astrophysics accessible.
• Technology is fun: Foundation inspires with interactive activities.
• Snowball effect: Enthusiasm multiplies through interaction.

What began as a curious glance through a telescope or playful tech trial often developed into genuine interest and lasting curiosity. Kids explained stations to each other, parents put on VR headsets, and even professionals took time to talk with young explorers.

This dynamic showed how effective interactive education concepts can be when they are low-threshold, creative, and designed for dialogue. Especially in a time of rapid technological change, it is essential to spark enthusiasm early – and to carry it forward together.

Whether rocket models, robotic arms, or planetary systems – technology became an experiential space at the festival, where learning felt almost like play.

Science with Conviction: Harald Lesch on Energy and Responsibility

One of the intellectual highlights was Harald Lesch’s appearance. In his talk “The Unrecognized Revolution: Renewable Energy,” the astrophysicist analyzed the markets of tomorrow and the role of science in society.

• Renewables as opportunity: Lesch calls for faster transformation.
• Technology with responsibility: Ethics as part of every future strategy.
• Science for all: Complex content explained clearly.

Once again, Harald Lesch managed to get to the heart of big-picture issues. With clear words, vivid imagery, and societal foresight, he spoke about renewable energies, system change, and the role of science in everyday life – approachable, insightful, and without a preachy tone.

At an event aiming to make technology and the future broadly accessible, Lesch’s contribution was a key impulse: science can only have an impact if it reaches people – and that was achieved impressively this weekend.
