How you can use the IT and Media Lab
To work in the IT and Media Lab, you must first attend the general safety briefing. After that, you will receive an introduction for the specific application (for example product photography or 360° camera). With most devices, you can then work independently. Exceptions are the drone and camera crane, which have additional requirements. Please speak with us separately about these. If you would like to use the IT and Media Lab, simply let us know on site or contact us.

Photo and Video Cameras
In our photo studio you will find a selection of DSLR cameras, some of which can also record video. We provide professional accessories for your projects such as various lenses, tripods, a light tent, studio flashes with a wide selection of light modifiers, exposure meters, a camera crane, and much more.
360° content is becoming increasingly established in many areas today, such as real estate tours or exploration experiences, product marketing, or immersive virtual reality videos.
Example application: Digital 360° tour of the RUB campus.
