Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGeorg Zotti is a researcher and software engineer with 15 years of experience at the intersection of computer graphics, cultural astronomy, and virtual archaeology. He develops realistic virtual reconstructions and tools—contributing to Stellarium and creating calibrated HDR skydome imaging, procedural models of historical instruments, and pixel‑perfect projection mapping for exhibitions. His work spans VR/AR, GIS workflows, volume visualization, and 3D printing, combining deep technical skills (OpenInventor/Coin, Unity3D, PFSTools, Python, RPL) with domain expertise in archaeoastronomy. Based in Vienna, he has held research roles at VRVis and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute and leads German‑language cultural astronomy efforts as 2nd Chair of Gesellschaft für Archäoastronomie. Notably, he pairs historically informed astronomical phenomenology with hands‑on outreach—building Arduino exhibits and handheld astronomy software—to make complex heritage science tangible.
