Story

WILO is one of the world leading manufacturers of pumps and pump systems for building technology, water management and the industry.

To connect employees while working on projects and to make communication easier, WILO developed an App to enable flawless workflows. Therefore WILO demanded a visual that visualizes the connection of different units and skills and the growth of an expert network.

The visual is an animated particle system based on the Plexus 3 plugin. An additional HTML 5 / Canvas solution was coded for dynamic online use for assets such as banners, teasers or background animations.

It was also used as a Key Visual for flyers and posters for internal use.

Story

In the 14th century the citizens of Ulm had a vision of massive dimensions – the Ulm Minster, a cathedral 500 years in the making and today the highest steeple of the world. 

Ulm Stories voices of the Minter is an audio installation featuring 12 audio sculptures based on and inspired by historical facts, art pieces and personal stories to embark on a journey back in time and experience the Minster from the inner perspective of its lively history.

For that purpose 60 iBeacons (bluetooth-controlled sensors) have been installed in the Minster tracking the audience while moving freely through the building and experience their personal and immersive journey, without being distracted by devices.

The project „Voices of the Minster“ is part of the wider project Ulm Stories which was created in the context of „Zukunftsstadt Ulm 2030“ city of the future initiative. Ulm Stories, integrating the VR Experience Ulm Stories / the dream of flying and the event Ulm Stories/ Resonanzen has been produced by the Interactive Media Foundation together with project partners who are leaders in their own field: Demodern, Miiqo Studios, Dorian Roy, Tom Kombüchen and wittmann/zeitblom & Liebert.

Story

Dell wanted to promote its „Social Media Listening Command Center (LCC)“, a tool that monitors keywords by crawling the internet continuously.

To create awareness for this tool we created a virtual race game based on the data of the LCC for events. The race cars fuel were 3 keyword each player had to choose from real time based data visualization showing the relations between strength of the keyword measured by the LCC and the driver ranking in the game.

By monitoring keywords and ranking, the players were able to optimize their performance via tablet computer during the race, by doing a pitstop and changing old used keywords for new strong ones.

With a participation rate of over 75% and more than 9500 tweets over 3 events, the LCC Race was a dazzling success.
