Totally new virtual worlds in Europe: T-Systems opens first center with five-side view

  • Joint project with the University of Madrid
  • Five-side view of virtual worlds for first time
  • Architecture visualizations and prototype design in real time

T-Systems and the University of Madrid are showing virtual worlds in a five-side view for the first time. The project, which is currently unique in Europe, underlines the Deutsche Telekom subsidiary's innovative strength in the field of information and communications technology. The modeling and 3D simulation in the virtualization center in Madrid help cut development costs, minimize production risks and reduce construction time.

The Deutsche Telekom subsidiary and CeDInt, Madrid Polytechnic University's research and development center, are working, among other things, on being able to safely restore architectural monuments using the new simulation feature (see photo). Both partners are also developing virtual solution worlds for the fields of automobile, architecture, real estate, culture, leisure, finance, marketing and education. In addition, the virtual center opens up new possibilities for forensic medicine and surgery: using 3D simulations, doctors can reconstruct faces or prepare operations on soft tissue.

Supercomputer for high flyers on the ground and in the air T-Systems has extensive know-how in the field of computer-controlled simulations: the supercomputer designed and operated by T-Systems, which is one of the fastest computers in the world used industrially for aerospace research, is located at the research airport in Braunschweig. Users of the computer are researchers and scientists in the C2A2S2E project, an innovation partnership between the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the state of Lower Saxony and Airbus. The exact simulation of ultimate flight behavior is aimed at reducing development costs and making air travel even safer. At the same time, ways of reducing aircraft noise and emissions are also being sought. T-Systems is also cooperating in a public private partnership with the University of Stuttgart, sports car manufacturer Porsche and the Automotive Simulation Center Stuttgart (ASCS), among others, on the development of quiet, low-emission and fuel-efficient cars. Automakers can measure aerodynamic resistance with the supercomputer and no longer have to place prototypes in wind tunnels. Airflow can be simulated on a computer, saving both time and money and underlining the Industry's philosophy of sustainability.
