HASLACH. “Digital Innovations & Virtual Experiences” was not only the title, but also the program of an event organized by the Upper Austrian. Location agency Business Upper Austria. In addition to exciting insights into virtual and augmented reality, a project competition took place, from which two students from the technical college in Haslach emerged as winners.
Severin Prorok and Xaver Huber convinced the jury with their “Medicine bed for radiation”. “It’s always great for me when our students can show that they can keep up with the HTL students. This is very important for us as a school, and also for the parents and for the public,” say director Hildegard Prem and teacher Walter Pechmann.
The special lounger is sonicated with Solfeggio frequencies and controlled by Loxone technology. The lounger is designed to relax and heal the user.
Relaxed director
When asked by the jury whether the medical couch had already been tested and delivered positive results, Severin Prorok and Xaver Huber replied: “The couch was tested by our director. She felt so relaxed and refreshed that she didn’t want to come down at all.” And relaxed headmistresses are anything but a disadvantage for students.
As recognition for their achievement, the two of them received a visit to the Enns-based company VIINGO GmbH for their entire class, followed by a mixed reality city tour in the oldest city in Austria.

Economics and Research Minister Markus Achleitner was a guest when the certificates were handed over and congratulated the students on their great achievements: “It is impressive how motivated and professional these young people approach digitization.
