Mary Shelley – The Lost Memory is an interactive augmented reality escape room for groups and players aged 14 and up. In this adventure, you will encounter Mary Shelley not as a historical figure, but as an artificial intelligence. Your task is to work as a team to repair the AI, allowing you to get to know the author, her eventful life, and her thoughts on her work in a completely new way.

This experience combines biographical work about a woman who shaped literary history with highly topical questions about the future. While you explore Mary Shelley’s life, the project also addresses the complex topic of artificial intelligence. It encourages us to reflect on how we deal with AI today and to draw parallels between the novel “Frankenstein” and modern technology.

No more dry theory and expensive equipment. The QuantumLab app, developed on behalf of the University of Leipzig, transforms your smartphone or tablet into a fully-fledged research laboratory. Thanks to innovative XR technology (for Android & iOS), you can bring complex physical structures directly to your school desk. Make the invisible visible and experience quantum physics in a way that has never been possible before – without laser safety goggles, but with complete transparency.

Are you ready to push the boundaries of classical physics? Master six fascinating experiments—from fundamental interference and coincidence to the famous Hong-Ou-Mandel effect. Each experiment challenges you with different levels of difficulty: start with the basics and work your way up until you truly understand the intricacies of quantum mechanics. This turns abstract knowledge into tangible fascination.

Step into the role of an Ottoman architect and create a space that tells stories. With the Damascus Room VR Editor, you have access to the magnificent stylistic elements of the famous 19th-century original in Dresden. Combine richly decorated wood paneling, set atmospheric lighting accents, and build your own personal oasis of well-being—intuitively, creatively, and with complete freedom in virtual reality.

A genuine Damascus room thrives on its details and its invitation to linger. Choose from a library of objects, furniture, and ceilings to fill the space. Arrange the traditional seating niches to offer maximum comfort to virtual visitors. Experience how individual building blocks come together to create a vibrant place of hospitality, and share your vision of modern Syrian interior design.

MISSION ATTO brings the German-Brazilian research project directly into the classroom. In collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, interactive augmented reality lessons have been developed to supplement traditional print materials. Students in grade 8 and above explore the rainforest, understand its role as a “tipping element” in the global climate system, and learn about the unique biodiversity of the Amazon region.

In addition to a 3D ATTO camp that can be explored, the MISSION ATTO app offers interactive units on exciting topics such as “flying rivers” and the carbon cycle. Combined with ten detailed worksheets, young people can slip into the roles of reporters or researchers. The interdisciplinary material (biology, chemistry, physics) promotes active, independent learning and is ideal for project days, substitute lessons, or extracurricular education.

Transform your classroom into a digital battlefield of opinions. In this immersive augmented reality experience, you project a shared virtual space onto a floor mat where nothing is as it seems. You slip into fixed roles, but be careful: special optical filters distort your vision and simulate your group’s “bias.” Experience firsthand how limited perspectives arise and work as a team to develop your own perfect conspiracy theory.

What happens to your theories when they go online? Our specially developed interactive search engine simulates the harsh dynamics of the web. Enter your “facts” and watch the battle for interpretive authority unfold: while economic actors push their contributions to the top with their budgets, scientists try to verify their veracity. Learn in a playful way how influence and capital control our flood of information—and how important it is to take a critical look at the source.
