Project ViSUS PRO

All information about the conference can be found below.

The ViSUS PRO (virtual and sustainable product development) project aims to develop a teaching and learning environment, consisting of an xR lab with a specific test bench, which will enable students to acquire skills in sustainable product development through innovative learning formats.

The test bench allows products to be virtually tested and validated using xR technologies (VR and XR headsets, Rokoko Smart Suit, as well as powerful hardware and software components).

This approach helps save costly physical prototypes during the development process and conserves resources. It aligns with the principles of sustainability and enables resource-efficient product development. The use of xR technologies in education and teaching also promotes digital skills that future engineers will need for their career entry. A first practical example (development of health-promoting light functions) demonstrates the immediate application of these technologies in the curriculum.

Moreover, this innovative teaching and learning environment aims to spark interest in STEM subjects among future students.

ViSUS 2025

Invitation to the First ViSUS Conference 2025 in July

Rethinking Light – Glare-Free, Digital, and Sustainable for the Mobility of the Future

We are delighted to invite you to the first-ever ViSUS Conference taking place from 15 to 17 July 2025 at the Dorint Hotel Herrenkrug in Magdeburg.
ViSUS stands for virtual and sustainable – and brings together experts from industry and academia to explore new perspectives on the future of mobility.

Under the main theme
“Rethinking Light – Glare-Free, Digital, and Sustainable for the Mobility of the Future”,
we will discuss how modern lighting technologies can enhance road safety, support sustainable infrastructure, and drive digital innovation.

Look forward to inspiring talks, hands-on insights, and interdisciplinary exchange – at the intersection of technology, design, and societal impact.

Be part of the beginning – and help shape the mobility of tomorrow!

Adaptive Glare-Free Low Beam Distributions – The Potential of Multipixel LEDs for Safety Improvement in Severe Weather Conditions

By: Hoppen, H, Tietzsch, F., Schelhorn, M., Lamontain, B.;

Published at: SIA VISION 2024, Paris, Frankreich

Abstract: Light distributions must primarily meet legal requirements, but do these regulations adaptively cover severe weather conditions? What happens during a rainy night when two or more vehicles pass each other? The road acts as a secondary glare source, causing significant glare for oncoming drivers. Thus, adaptive low beam distributions are essential to enhance traffic safety and comfort for all road users.

This contribution presents a feasibility study on the latest glare-free headlamps with multipixel LEDs and their potential to add value in terms of traffic safety under severe weather conditions.

First, an overview of the latest glare-free headlamps and the technologies used will be provided. Next, the requirements for adaptive glare-free low beam distribution in severe weather conditions will be presented. The core of the study is a comparison between the necessary requirements and the potential of the latest headlamp systems to meet these requirements. Third, potential safety improvements will be discussed. Additionally, challenges to be addressed and the next steps will be mentioned.

In summary, this contribution will provide an outlook on how a pure software update of the latest headlamp systems could enhance traffic safety. Furthermore, it will demonstrate the high potential of software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
