Inside Immersion

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jan-Niklas Voigt-Antons

How can technology actually help people? Inside Immersion is the podcast of the Immersive Reality Lab at Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences (HSHL), hosted by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jan-Niklas Voigt-Antons. Each episode explores one research project and the people who work on it. The conversations cover extended reality (XR), augmented reality (AR), digital twins, sensors and artificial intelligence (AI), with a focus on what each project does, how it works and who it is for. Alongside the technology, the episodes look at user research, accessibility, privacy and the ethical questions that come with building systems for real people. Season one moves through city streets, digital twins, regional railways, home care and rehab clinics, with conversations on ARiadne, DIDYMOS-XR, DigiOnTrack, SilentBedMonitor and MIA-PROM. A new episode is released on the first day of every month. Follow Inside Immersion wherever you get your podcasts.

    DIDYMOS-XR: Digital Twins That Keep Up with Reality

    A digital twin is only useful if it reflects the world as it changes. Francesco Vona, senior research scientist at the Immersive Reality Lab, joins host Jan-Niklas Voigt-Antons to explain how DIDYMOS-XR combines sensor data, artificial intelligence (AI), and extended reality (XR) to keep virtual models up to date. They discuss everyday uses, from city navigation to industrial inspection, and why privacy, human oversight, and testing with real users matter as much as the technology.

    ARiadne: Finding Your Way with AR, Sound and Touch

    ARiadne explores how augmented reality (AR), spatial sound, and haptic cues can help pedestrians navigate a city. Julie Henning, a research scientist at the Immersive Reality Lab, joins host Jan-Niklas Voigt-Antons to explain the project’s approach to inclusive navigation. They discuss guidance tailored to different needs, early user research, and how to guide people without competing for their attention.
