    Imagine wearing a pair of glasses that overlays digital information onto the real world: for example, showing you arrows that point the way to your next turn. We’ve seen this plenty of times in spy movies – but what about in real life? In the latest episode of our podcast Blitzgscheit, Clemens Arth joins us to talk about exactly that: augmented reality and technologies that connect the digital and physical worlds. Today, he is the inventor behind a total of 24 patents. But his story began much earlier – and in a surprisingly down-to-earth way. Tune in now to find out what model railways have to do with it all!

The voice of the podcast: Julia Zach

With her expertise in intellectual property and her knack for inspiring stories, Julia Zach hosts our podcast.

“For a long time now, I have had the privilege of speaking with inventors. For many years I was able to advise them at the patent office's customer center on their first steps. 

In doing so, I noticed: at the beginning there is almost always a problem that someone experiences or recognizes, for which they seek and find a solution, and who then summons the courage and the unwavering determination to bring it to life.”
