From 11.06 to 15.06, this year’s CEBIT took place in Ha­no­ver, which is known as one of the world’s lar­gest tra­de fairs in the field of in­for­ma­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy. Sin­ce, as last year, the­re was al­rea­dy gre­at in­te­rest, I vi­si­ted the fair in Ha­no­ver on the last day of the ex­hi­bi­ti­on tog­e­ther with a group of per­ma­nent em­ployees, ap­pren­ti­ces and stu­dents. In the 27 halls of the ex­hi­bi­ti­on cent­re, com­pa­nies such as Mi­cro­soft, SAP, IBM, Deut­sche Bahn, the Bun­des­wehr and many others show­ed us how they di­gi­ti­se their dai­ly tasks. This year I found the pre­sen­ted in­no­va­tions in the Vir­tu­al Rea­li­ty and In­ter­net-of-Things (IoT) area par­ti­cu­lar­ly interesting.

Here you could also try out a lot for yourself, for ex­amp­le a VR dri­ving school si­mu­la­tor with gear shift, a VR dro­nes si­mu­la­ti­on and a mo­del of a par­king lot, which shows exact­ly the avail­ab­le pla­ces thanks to sen­sors. Af­ter the in­for­ma­ti­ve but also ex­haus­ting day, on which we had run over 2800 ex­hi­bi­ti­on stands, we en­ded the day with a com­mon din­ner in a fast food restaurant.
