🚀 Launch of a New Seminar: Extended Reality for Value Creation in Business
Recently, we introduced our new interdisciplinary seminar, jointly offered by TU München and ETH Zürich.
The seminar brings together management and engineering students to explore how Extended Reality (XR) can create real business value. Throughout the semester, students will work in interdisciplinary teams to identify real-world challenges, design XR solutions, and develop functional prototypes.
🥽 A highlight of the course will be a three-day hackathon at campus toelz, where students will transform their ideas and designs (ShapesXR) into working XR applications with support from industry experts and technical coaches.
A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the development of this seminar, especially Prof. David Finken, Prof. Martin Meißner, Prof. Florian von Wangenheim, Prof. April Yi Wang, Dr. Thomas Scheurer, Justin Eymann, Ehbal Ablimit, Mohamed Mansuri, and Hannspeter Schubert.
We are also especially grateful for the support of the Dieter Schwarz Foundation, the TUM Campus Heilbronn, and ETH Zürich Campus Heilbronn, whose commitment to innovation and interdisciplinary education makes this seminar possible.
We are excited by the strong interest among students and look forward to welcoming the first cohort this autumn.👏
