The Internet explodes out of the computer, into the real world, augments the real world with additional information, and connects every object in the web of things. So that is the outernet. Secondly a big trend is multi channel. So, we are not having one channel anymore, we have multiple channels and connect all channels together. And the third trend is new business models.\"\u003cbr/\u003eOne company that is trying to combine those three trends is the THIS IS! Digital Media Group.\u003cbr/\u003eIt has developed software that works with the Oculus Rift headset, a virtual reality headset normally used for gaming, to allow customers to see hotels in 3D before booking their room.\u003cbr/\u003eThe hotel or resort needs to scan their rooms, spas, gardens or even the beach nearby and upload the information on a database.\u003cbr/\u003ePotential customers can then use the headsets to virtually walk around the hotel, look at the rooms or visit the surrounding environment before deciding whether to book.\u003cbr/\u003eYannick Muller, the PR representative for THIS IS! Digital Media Group, explains:\u003cbr/\u003e\"For a person who wants to book a journey, the person could experience some parts of the journey before. Watching with these glasses and seeing for example the hotel room before the person arrives or for example going to the beach, experiencing the nature.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe product is still a concept at this stage with no definite launch date.\u003cbr/\u003eTrying on the headset, visitor Katja Reh says she's impressed:\u003cbr/\u003e\"It is like you are in the room. I want to sit down on the bed. I want to open the door. It is like I'm moving in the hotel room.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAnother company is using a far smaller screen, but one it hopes will transform skiing.\u003cbr/\u003eEvolaris has developed new software for the Oakley Airwave 1.5 smart goggles.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe regular Oakley Airwave can measure speed, elevation and distance, but the software from Evolaris adds information about the ski resort as well as up to date information about weather, snow forecasts and ski lifts. The goggles come with a built-in Recon display, Bluetooth connection and GPS tracking.\u003cbr/\u003eEvolaris product developer, Hannes Walter explains:\u003cbr/\u003e\"You can see the waiting time in front of each ski lift. So, based on this information you can decide, will I go to this slope and have to wait for half an hour for the next ski lift or should I go to this slope and there is no waiting time.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe Oakley Airwave 1.5 cost around US $650 with the standard software. Evolaris is hoping their additional software will be available in\u003cbr/\u003e2015 after it has undergone further testing, including safety checks.\u003cbr/\u003e3D service company, Formicum is looking to 3D printing to change the way we buy souvenirs.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Mcor Matrix 300 3D printer can make 3D sculptures and maps using standard office paper. The printer costs 94,000 euro (130,000 USD) to buy, but Formicum is offering to set up a lease service for hotels and leisure outlets that will allow travellers to get an instant memento of their time abroad.\u003cbr/\u003eIt could be a sculpture of the hotel where they are staying or of the sites they are visiting, or as Formicum founder, Gunther Bigl explains, a 3D map of the hike they just did:\u003cbr/\u003e\"You could get 3D data of your environment and you could print out a map in 3D, in true colour, with your resort and the surrounding neighbourhood. And you could for instance give out GPS tracking devices to your customers and if they go hiking in the mountains or going mountain biking you could just collect their route, get the GPS data out of the device, put it on top of this map, this GIS (geographic information system) information, and print it out as a personalised gift for your customer.\"\u003cbr/\u003eITB Berlin runs until 9th March 2014.
