Dr. Björn Schwerdtfeger

We have founded a new Augmented Reality company, please visit www.extend3d.de .

"Was machst du denn so?" "Informatiker." Kristall-Rainer betonte jede Silbe, als er das sagte, so als müsse er sich erst erinnern. Das, entschied Herr Lehmann sofort, ist wahr. Soetwas, dachte er, denkt man sich nicht aus, wenn man etwas zu verbergen hat. Er konnte sich nichts Langweiligeres, Abseitigeres, Öderes, Unglamouröseres vorstellen, als Informatiker zu sein.
- S. Regener: "Herr Lehmann", Eichborn Verlag 2001.

Background
