“Nothing is as old as yesterday’s success.”
by Freddy Quinn
Friedrich’s role in the Ars Electronica Futurelab corresponds to a software developer with a focus on human-computer interaction. His repertoire ranges from the realization of real-time applications (Unity, Unreal) to web applications (Angular, Django, Spring Boot, …). Currently, he dedicates his time to the Cinematic Rendering project, which allows a nearly realistic high-resolution representation of virtual anatomy in 3D in the Deep Space 8K.
Friedrich has different educations in electrical engineering, health care and nursing and has several years of professional experience in intensive care. Furthermore, he completed a bachelor’s degree in media technology and design at the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences in Hagenberg with a focus on game development.
In the course of his master’s degree in Interactive Media, Friedrich worked for BMW at the Research and Innovation Center in Munich. There, he worked on an interaction concept and prototypes to optimize the virtual product development process (Virtual Reality) in the automotive industry.
Key Works
Multiple award-winning innovation that merges MRI and CTR data of real patients into photorealistic 3D images: viewed larger than life in Deep Spaces as razor-sharp objects from all angles.
Developed and implemented by the Ars Electronica Futurelab, the JKU medSPACE shows anatomy like never before, in quadruple stereoscopic 3D 4K projection at 14×7 meters.
An interactive decision-making game for Deep Space 8K, in which groups of visitors try to reduce CO₂ emissions through dilemma decisions and achieve climate goals.
The data from spatial measurement of St. Stephen in Vienna with more than 21 billion laser points was converted into a translucent representation of the cathedral.
