With this technology you show the future of smart city

• IN4Climate – Augmented Reality

  Creativity, business and science work hand in hand here

  As a think tank, IN4climate.NRW shows the precise path towards a climate-neutral industry. New technologies and innovative approaches for a sustainable economy are being developed. To present these at a trade fair, the stakeholders chose AR and a haptic model made of Corian®.

  An abstract map of NRW was printed on the model. 3D models of icons illustrate the various topics and industries and serve as markers for the AR application. The augmented reality is played on four IPads attached to movable arms. In this way, the content can be accessed from all four sides of the table and by several users at the same time.

• AR – Front Projection – Backlighting

  The combination of digital and real opens up a new space for design

  A real 3D model is an ideal anchor for the benefits of digital augmentation:

  • Augmented Reality (AR) – combine any information of the model with an AR app according to your CI.
  • Front projection – Extend a physical city model with a coloured and animated front projection.
  • Backlighting – The buildings are backlit by a display and staged with customised applications.

  Depending on the technique, different materials are suitable for the completion of the city model.

  We advise you on the perfect combination of material, technology and application so that your exhibit is not only convincing but also inspiring!
