In 2012, I organised the first Photonik-Camp in Aachen. It was a barcamp with sessions about photonics. We recorded some interviews that I want to present on this page:
Karsten Joost
BlickBeat utilizes an eye-tracker for an interactive art installations for teenage skaters.
Andreas Kahler
Andreas talks about the WinkDings workshops
Michael Straeubig
In Michael’s’ workshop, participants discussed game concepts.
Sessions
There were 12 sessions in 3 tracks. Every participant had to give a short talk and needed to participate in 4 sessions.
This video shows some impressions from the sessions.
Contest
There was a contest with prizes on Saturday. The participants presented ideas for photonic projects in three categories. Each winner got 1500 Euros for the implementation of his idea. The winners are:
- Best Innovation: Felix and Norbert, Dingfabrik Köln: "direct exposure system for PCBs"
- Price of our hearts: Andreas, FabLab München: "WinkDings - Persitence of Vision"
- Keep an Eye on: Ingo, teacher from Oldenburg: "Transforming light into things"
