ETH Meets You in Davos during the World Economic Forum

ETH Zurich 360 Virtual Tour
Explore some of the groundbreaking discoveries and ideas generated behind the doors of one of the most prestigious universities in the world.

Steer an avatar with your thoughts

Brain Runners is a brain–computer interface (BCI) video game that enables competitors to control the movement of an avatar by using only concentrated thoughts. You too can play the game and see how well it can read your mind.

Bring characters to life in 3D

ETH Zurich Game Technologists have developed unique technologies to enable an augmented-reality coloring book. You will see coloring book characters become animated 3D figures in real-time and come together to dance, sing, and play in a band.

Watch Magic Cubli

ETH Zurich’s Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control demonstrates magic through technology with the Cubli. A feat of engineering “magic,” the 15 × 15 × 15 cm cube combines several abilities -- jumping, balancing, and a controlled fall -- and is actually able to “walk.”

Rezero - a robot that glides as elegantly as a figure skater
Rezero is a unique Ballbot, able to balance and drive on a single sphere. Especially designed for high acceleration, it moves in a very organic and elegant way. Moving on a single ball, not on wheels, Rezero creates a new mobility concept for robots. This unique prototype Ballbot moves spontaneously in any direction as smooth and elegant as a figure skater on ice. Whether used as a guide, a toy, a service robot, or a daily aid, the Rezero Ballbot proves its potential navigating crowded environments.

Play with Augmented Reality   

In this augmented reality game your team spirit is essential. Up to four players, each with a tablet, play around a cube-shaped augmented reality marker. The players have to physically move around the room and position themselves in front of the virtual doors in order to collect points and defeat the aliens that appear on the screen.

Be served by robot Igor   

Inspired by the brains of mammals, including humans, researchers in ETH Zurich have created Igor – a serving robot. Modelling different levels of brain functions - from neural functions up to complex behaviors – researchers have developed Igor using four artificial cognitive systems: autonomous navigation, multi-modal perception and reconstruction of the environment, semantic facial motion tracking, and human body motion recognition and behavior analysis.

Taste a culinary affair between science and cooking
Five natural scientists with a passion for cooking revolutionize the way we think about food. The TASTELAB melds the latest methods and scientific knowledge to show the close relationship between science and food. Join ETH Zurich at the TASTELAB to experience cooking - from art of the perfect espresso brewing to the spectacular benefits of cooking “sous-vide.”
