Immersive Holocaust Testimony using Cutting-Edge VR and AI at the Home of the German Film Industry by Dr Ben Pelling Nestled among the grand houses and new-build flats of Babelsberg, a quiet Potsdam suburb to the south-west of Berlin, sits the centre of the German film industry. Studio Babelsberg is recognised as the oldest large-scale film studio in the world and has been producing films since 1912. It is therefore unsurprising

At Filmuniversität Babelsberg Konrad Wolf, volumtric capture and VR are being used to create new forms of testimony.
