Beside projects related to my actual research I was involved in a number of other activities. These include the creation of team building role-plays and the design of large scale experiments for educational shows on television. Another interest of mine is software development and web design. Currently I am finalizing version 2.0 of the Eureka ROM web panel for Google Inc.'s Chromecast.

I love to be in the creative process from the first idea to the final implementation, and enjoy the interaction with users, customers, and audience. My latest project is Krona Sunlight, a watch face for Android Wear smart watches with integrated 24h weather forecast. It is currently the highest rated weather watch face on the Google Play Store.

As part of a team of agents you will be sent underground—1,000 feet deep—to expose the dangerous practices of of ruthless energy company. No break, no audience, just a handful of rules. You will experience an oppressive, terrifying, dark story. Your team will help you to endure borderline experiences. Deep Fusion is the first ever live action adventure game 1,000 feet underground that will bring you to your physical limits. A real mine stuffed full of props, actors, and special effects.

Only three people were involved that dedicated their free time to the project. I was solely responsible for the entire media technology and computer systems, coordinated all press events and public relations, and managed the project from the first bolt to its official announcement. After we were turned down by every other mine in the region, we persistently kept on searching for the one perfect location, convinced the person in charge of a 125 year old copper mine to install media technology and computer systems, and remodel huge mine fans into scary looking reactors and biohazard laboratories. Two years later we presented the game to news media representatives, and end up in prime time news.

The game is designed as team building experience for small groups. Tickets are available on the ActiVenture website. Due to my limited time and resources I am currently not involved with ActiVenture any more. Since I left, the company designed additional—more gentle—experiences.

For three years I was responsible for fundraising, conception and execution of three different public 'Christmas Lectures' in experimental physics that attracted 12,000 visitors in total. Most experiments were specifically designed and built in large scales for edutainment purposes.

One of my favourite experiment was the 'Lifter', a 70,000 volts ionic drive made just out of balsa wood, copper wire, and tinfoil. In collaboration with high voltage engineers and after month of trial and error we were able to upscale the almost magically flying object to a diameter of 3 meters, hovering 10 feet over ground.

'Clever!', a German prime time television show took notice of our experiment and hired us to design a portable version for their TV studio. Though under deadline pressure and without access to university facilities we managed to develop an easy to assemble carbon fiber based structure and impressed a baffled studio audience alongside 3.75 million viewers.

The video below is a short impression of the christmas lectures, the small scale Lifter, and the big version in television.
