Mars landing on Social-TV

19. Oktober 2016

The landing has finally not worked, but the social media feedback was enormous. While the European EDM lander attempted landing on Mars, I have produced a live social-TV coverage on Facebook, broadcasting the final 15 minutes of descent in a new, totally interactive TV environment. An amazing experience, with more than 100K audience permanently watching it.

Rosetta end of mission

30. September 2016

It has been the longest lasting project for my events‘ career – I have produced the launch event in 2004, several media briefings and events along its ten years‘ flight, the events for wakeup in 2014, for the arrival at its target comet and several ones when it was orbiting it. The Rosetta mission is a superlative by its own and I am happy I could follow it all the way long, the landing in 2014 included, which was broadcasted by more than 200 media from all over the world.

Today afternoon, the Rosetta spacecraft has been deorbited to its target comet’s surface, delivering the final data and images of its outstanding science mission. It was a bit sad to see it all end.

kinderdiary 2016 update

31. Mai 2016

kinderdiary exists since 2010 and is used by a large community as their personal children’s book. Now, it has been fully refurbished and programmed anew in order to meet the expectations of latest OS and App users. kinderdiary comes now with an export and backup function, plus a stable synch via iCloud and lets the entire family share the private moments of our children’s lives – without being exposed to the data grabbing habit of social media platforms. The App works on iPhone and iPad as of iOS7 and was my personal idea and project. There is a next step in development to make it even more useful for the family.
