TOOLS

Unity & Unreal Game Engines

If we bring Augmented or Virtual Reality concepts to life, we utilize these two well known game engines. It's amazing how tools like these democratized the development of stunning realtime visuals. Unreal shines when it comes to interactive motion graphics with a high end polish, almost undistinguishable from offline renderings. And Unity is flexible and optimized to master the challenges of mobile presentations, VR and AR.

cables.gl - beautiful, interactive 3D content for the web

Love at first sight, since we started using cables, our passion for realtime web content keeps growing. Devices and browsers are immensly capable today, rendering the web very attractive for us realtime nerds. cables enables us to bring our experience in interaction, product visualization and edutainment to websites. The time is over for boring text-image-video layouts.

vvvv - hybrid visual/textual live-programming environment

Our go-to-tool for all sorts of ideas, let it be kinetic installations, light staging, touchscreen exhibits, data visualizations, exotic interfaces - you name it. With 20 years of experience, surely our native language.

Three.js and web technology
Web technology gets more and more important for interactive exhibits. This technology enables us to create multiplatform experiences since everything has a browser. Leveraging the big three.js community allows us to craft cutting-edge 3d graphics in combination with a content-management-system like kirby.

For fully integrated exhibit journeys, including complex content management and administration tools, easy deployment and low hardware requirements, web tech is the way to go.
