How it all started... Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Clauss began his industrial training in 1975. After completing his studies, he became a development engineer for medical electronics and received his doctorate in 1989 in neuro diagnostics. His speciality was electroencephalography (EEG), and analysis of brainstem evoked potentials. In 1993 he began a development project for electronic imaging and photogrammetry - the cradle of today's device technology. The founding of the GmbH Founding of the 'Dr. Clauss Bild- und Datentechnik GmbH' from the previous individual company. Guinness World Record Kuala Lumpur in 846 gigapixels, the current world record for gigapixel photography. The world's first electronic recording camera with no picture angle limitation scans the surroundings in a punctiform manner and thus makes the data photogrammetrically usable. As with today's panorama scanners, sections could already be removed, individually displayed and measured. The technical innovation of the year The first digital panorama camera - awarded as technical innovation of the year - goes into series production—at least 18 megapixels and stereo image; far ahead of its time from today's perspective. The first videogrammetric measurement system, "Elevation", for recording and evaluating fireworks, was developed and later transferred to series production. The system thus sets the reference standard worldwide for all rise height measurements of pyrotechnic products. A cornerstone for interactive object photography With the JumboDrive, the first electronically controlled turntable, it is not only possible to develop bodies with a great deal of detail, but also to open up a whole new field, interactive object photography, better known today as “ObjectMovies”.
