Abstract: A method is for transferring a state from a first VR environment to a second VR environment. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving, via a receiving system, a static object dataset relating to an object, the object being represented in a first VR environment, generated by an input system, and in the second VR environment, generated by the receiving system. In addition, the sending system determines a first dynamic object dataset relating to the object, the first dynamic object dataset relating to a dynamic property of the object in a first VR environment. In addition, the first dynamic object dataset is transmitted from the sending system to the receiving system. In addition, the receiving system determines a first state of the second VR environment based upon the static object dataset and the first dynamic object dataset.

Abstract: A method to determine the dimensions and distance of a number of objects in an environment includes providing a number of objects including a marking element; recording a visual image-dataset of at least one of the objects with a camera; and determining a parameter value from the image of a marking element in the image-dataset or from a measurement of an additional sensor at the location of the camera. The parameter value is a value depending from the distance of the object to the camera. The method further includes calculating the relative distance between the object and the camera based on the parameter value and calculating dimensions of the object from at least a part of the image of the object in the image-dataset and the calculated distance. A related device, a related system and a related control unit for a virtual reality system are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method includes determining a first position of a thumb and a first position of an index finger at a first time; calculating a first distance between the thumb and the index finger at the first time based upon the first position of the thumb and index finger; determining a second position of the thumb and index finger at a second time, the second time being relatively later in time than the first time; calculating a second distance between the thumb and the index finger at the second time, based upon the second position of the thumb and index finger; identifying a pick-up gesture based upon the first distance and the second distance; selecting a first tool from a set of tools based upon a tool position of the first tool, the first tool being a real tool; and assigning the first tool to the pick-up gesture.

Abstract: A method is used to control a virtual reality display unit. The method, in an embodiment, includes tracking an environment of a space surrounding the virtual reality display unit; automatically identifying and separating real-world objects of the environment tracked by forming virtual objects and providing individual identification labels to the virtual objects; classifying the virtual objects and corresponding individual identification labels into an object-library; marking a number of the virtual objects, at least one of by a user of the virtual reality display unit and automatically by linking an individual relevance-marker with each of the respective virtual objects; and displaying the virtual objects of the object-library via the virtual reality display unit, in dependence of respective relevance-markers. A respective device and a virtual reality display unit are further included.

Abstract: In order to make it possible for an inhomogeneous residue generated in a pyrolysis plant to be separated continuously and in as fully graded a way as possible, specially selected components are combined with one anther in an advantageous configuration. An essential element of the plant is the separation of a coarse residue in a coarse screen and the subsequent separation of the remaining residue in a zigzag separator into a light residue and a heavy residue. By use of the plant, in particular, the carbon-containing constituents are separated from the remaining residue. The individual components are mostly configured to be self-cleaning for fault-free operation.

Abstract: In order to separate a carbon-containing fraction as completely as possible from a residue, for example a pyrolysis residue, a combustible constituent is first separated from a non-combustible constituent. A carbon-containing light fraction is subsequently separated from a small-fragment fraction of the non-combustible constituent. For this purpose, in a preferred embodiment, a combination of a facility for the separation of wire with a heavy-fragment separator following the latter is provided for a continuous separation operation. The carbon-containing fraction thus obtained is preferably supplied for further utilization to a combustion chamber of a pyrolysis plant.

Abstract: A heating chamber or low-temperature carbonization drum has an interior receiving bulk material or trash and has a longitudinal axis about which the heating chamber or drum is rotatable. A number of heating tubes through which a heating gas can flow in a given direction, are disposed in the interior of the heating chamber or drum, are oriented approximately parallel to one another, and have an end region as seen in the given flow direction. Turbulators are disposed inside the heating tubes in the end region.
