Projects

3D Printer Kit
The Project 3D Printer Kit aims to provide Makerspace users with an instruction manual for constructing a 3D printer using materials available at SPH Makerspace. The manual will detail the specific SPH machines and tools required for the assembly. Additionally, it will guide users on how to acquire components not stocked in the Makerspace shop, such as extruders and electronic boards. This project aims to offer ETH students a platform for learning about and delving into 3D printer design....
ArtSci
ArtSci celebrates the intersection of art and science through a two week exhibition held at ETH Zurich. ArtSci (“artsy”) started in 2018 as an idea that science should be accessible to all. At a time when our knowledge of the universe ranges from Higgs bosons to collisions of black holes, it is important to find creative ways to communicate the magic of new discoveries. This festival is open to everyone. Let your mind wander at the exhibition or even submit something yourself -- all that is needed is a piece (visual, auditory, multimedia, etc) that expresses science in an artistic way....
DungeonVerse
The idea started from wanting to create a unique and engaging game that both challenges you but also tells a story. The Multiverse is a topic that is around for quite some time, especially Marvel Films often hint the existence of it, in recent years the introduced several films and series building on the existence of the Multiverse. As of the time of publishing, DungeonVerse is developed by Besche Awdir. So far we created the prototype and a first alpha version of the Game. Towards the end of the year (2025) we want to publish a playable demo version on Steam and start marketing. The ultimate goal of the project is the release of the full version of the game on Steam and possibly Playstation and Xbox....
Ememe
Ememe Town — this is a town where AI characters live freely. With generative AI technology, NPCs (Non-Player Characters) autonomously engage in conversations, take actions, build relationships between characters, and live their everyday lives as they please. You can create a reality drama with AI characters, as if it were the Truman Show, by creating new AI characters living in this town, setting their personalities, and sometimes intervening in their actions. AI automatically generates a daily schedule based on your NPC's personality. They might oversleep, skip meals, rush to school, have silly conversations with friends, come back, stay up a bit late on social media, and then go to sleep... AI generates such daily life of your favorite character. NPC conversations are generated in real-time by LLM. And animations, too! Using our proprietary technology, AI predicts and outputs appropriate facial expressions and body animations from over 1,000 motion data options based on conversations and schedules. Your character will come to life, laugh, dance, and automatically output 3D animations without the need for complex development techniques. You can freely converse with AI characters! By taking on the inner voice of NPCs or becoming other NPCs in conversation, you can influence actions of NPCs. Encourage them to skip school or badmouth their boyfriend... Let’s see what NPCs do! (Don’t go overboard with pranking AI though.) In this town, unexpected events sometimes occur. Meteor collisions, visits from aliens, winning the lottery, murder cases... and you can create these events! Create slightly spicy surprising events and throw NPCs into the whirlwind of confusion. Upload your favorite 3D character models*! Summon your faves to the town as AI NPCs. You can freely set their personalities. Recreate the appearance and essence of your favorite characters! Ememe aims to be a new AI-driven storytelling platform. In the next development phase, we plan to transform Ememe Town an open-world, where a multitude of NPCs coexist. Additionally, we provide users with tools to develop various multiplayer events (game missions) taking place in the town....
Halunka
The game is currently still in its play testing phase, as I'm trying to make sure the rules are the best they can be. A presentable prototype has been achieved, with the goal of finalizing card layouts, board design, etc. First rounds of testing have already shown its potential and I believe the game is already close to its final form! Halunka! came to be when I stumbled across notes from my 14-year old self who tried to make her very own board game. Now, almost ten years later, I have dusted off the old rules and formed them into something exciting and new!...
Hier Summts
Insects play a central role in our ecosystems. They are important for pollinating various plants and form a substantial part of the food chain. Unfortunately, the diversity and quantity of insects has declined sharply in recent years and decades. Where they used to hum loudly, they are now silent. There are many reasons for this, ranging from intensification of agriculture to changes in land use patterns to the increasing threat of climate change. It is imperative to protect insects and their diversity. For this reason, Hier Summts is committed to raising awareness about the diversity of insects, their benefits and insect mortality throughout Switzerland by educating members and the general public about the importance of insects to local ecosystems. General knowledge about insect conservation is to be conveyed in as many ways as possible, such as through school visits, excursions and lectures. So far, we have been able to offer various events on entomology and biodynamic viticulture which are open to both members and non-members. Join our events and/or association to learn and discover much more about insects! ...
ItsNotAI
ItsNotAI develops AI detection models and issues labels to distinguish non-AI media. We help data curators to filter out AI generated content for better models training as well as private customers as a tool for more transparency. The idea started after a talk with some photographer friends about how AI generated media is replacing original creative work on certain online platforms. The service is live. You're welcome to try it out on our website....
Melior
Melior’s mission is simple: make museums enjoyable for everyone. The company believes cultural knowledge should be easy to access, no matter who you are. Museums often present the same information to all visitors, which can be boring, confusing, or too time-consuming to understand. Melior wants to change this by making museum visits more personal and engaging. Melior turns your smartphone into a museum guide that adapts to you. It answers your questions and adjusts to your interests and knowledge level as you explore. Unlike standard audio guides, Melior creates a personal path through the museum just for you. The app works with museums to keep their vision intact while making exhibits more accessible. Museums also gain helpful data about how visitors interact with their collections....
Pango Print
Pango Print is a project that started with the idea of building a large 3D printer at low cost. Our first working prototype is 2.5 metres high and consists of more than 350 parts.Our mission is to provide 3D printing services of all sizes for both engineering prototyping and art.Our main activities include:Customised printing service for the customer (from engineer to architect to artist)Giving enterprising designers the opportunity to create and sell their product regardless of size (from functional to artistic objects)...
Seven Dwarfs: Legends Untold
A 2D action roguelike game with seven unique characters and a wide range of upgrades that build the characters as the players face hordes of enemies in fast-paced combat. Carl, Laurin and Harry started envisioning the game during the Game Lab course in 2021. Collaborating with two artists from Vienna, Albert and Tim, they are now aiming to publish a feature length version. In the meantime, you can wishlist "Seven Dwarfs: Legends Untold" on Steam! ...
Sightwalk
Sightwalk is an app-guided sightseeing platform that empowers everyone from travel lovers to professional tour guides or travel influencers to create digital tours for travelers around the world.
