Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria

Linz is a respectively small but nice city.
Ars Electronica is one of the places one must visit before leaving Linz.

This museum-like place is dedicated to science and technology. When I was there, there was an activity over Virtual Reality but this activity was closed to external visitors.
Ars Electronica is located on the borders of Tuna river.
The main focus of the museum is VR, new information technologies and applications merging biology, chemistry, math and computing.
First time in my life, I had the change to get my 3D scan in color. There was a system installed there and you stand in the middle of the system and you stand still for about 30 seconds. During these 30 seconds, the system seems to capture 2D images in color in visible light and reconstruct 3D image of you. Then, if you have a large 3D printer, maybe you can print a statue of yourself...funny...

Also, there was a place dedicated to 3D printing. You can draw some drafts there and they print them. However they print only on cartoons

There were some interesting VR stuff but most of them were not working when I was there. However, i have tried Occulus Rift and another VR system. These stuff is becoming serious.

Satellite...fun for kids..

It was not a very big exhibition but it was nice.
