Heartucate at Learntec 2026
27|04|2026 – We will also be attending LEARNTEC this year. Together with other partners, we will be at the mobile.schule booth to showcase our XR applications in an educational context.
A special highlight is our presentation on Thursday at 11:10 a.m., during which Franziska Weser will discuss the topic “XR and Science Communication with Augmented Reality Escape Rooms.” The presentation will focus on how complex content can be made tangible through interactive, collaborative formats.
As a central platform for digital education, LEARNTEC offers an ideal opportunity to engage with stakeholders from schools, research, and EdTech and to gather new ideas for the use of XR technologies. We look forward to discussions on-site and making new connections!
XR Training with the Landesfachstelle für Sächsische Bibliotheken
16|04|2026 – Together with the Landesfachstelle für Sächsische Bibliotheken, we conducted a XR training workshop for libraries.
The focus was on how interactive augmented reality applications can be meaningfully integrated into libraries’ educational work. In addition to hands-on testing of our “Journey to the Arctic” application, the workshop specifically addressed use cases, targeting specific audiences, and on-site implementation.
Libraries play a central role as low-threshold educational venues—which makes it all the more important to provide them with tools to test new formats.
We are pleased about the collaboration and the mutual exchange aimed at further developing educational offerings. The application can also be borrowed by other branches through the State Office.
Production begins: “Mary Shelley – The Lost Memory”
30|03|2026 – Production has begun on our new project, “Mary Shelley – The Lost Memory.” In this collaborative augmented reality experience, multiple players move together through a physical space and help an artificial intelligence based on Mary Shelley to recover her fragmented memories.
The project addresses key questions surrounding artificial intelligence, responsibility, and control, translating them into an interactive, experiential format. Inspired by Frankenstein, it creates a narrative XR experience that facilitates shifts in perspective between use and reflection.
Parallel to the technical development, an accompanying educational concept is being created for use in educational settings.
The release is planned for the 2026–27 school year.
Heartucate at Didacta 2026: XR at the exciting edu booth
18|03|2026 – “Hello, Didacta!” – We were back at Didacta again this year.
At the Klett MEX booth, we were part of the exciting edu booth alongside other innovative education providers in Hall 8 (Booth C19). Visitors were able to try out our augmented reality applications firsthand and chat with us.
A special highlight was Franziska Weser’s presentation on XR and science communication, where we demonstrated how complex content can be made tangible through interactive, collaborative formats.
The exchange with teachers, media centers, and other stakeholders has once again confirmed to us that there is great interest in practical XR solutions that can be easily integrated into existing learning contexts.
Survey on the AR Editor tool for teachers – participation until December 11
02|12|2025 – We are currently working with students at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences on a new AR editor tool that will enable teachers to design their own AR content intuitively and without any prior technical knowledge. We need your help to ensure that this tool addresses the real challenges of everyday teaching.
The survey is open until December 11 and only takes a few minutes to complete. All feedback will be directly incorporated into further development. Click here to take the survey:
