In the hybrid showroom developed and designed together with our partner 0711 livecom for IAA 2021 in Munich, visitors move effortlessly between a virtual gaming environment and the physical exhibition space. The concept behind it: engaging users and Clients faster through gamified elements to make information more memorable. The trade fair stand brings together EnBW’s new corporate design and sustainability under the motto “Charging Germany” – showcasing the “Hypernetz”, Europe’s largest charging network. Across 210 sq m, visitors explore key topics such as electric vehicles, charging, and range through a series of interactive stations. Quiet zones featuring podcasts to unwind and a smart evening lighting concept, including an LED wall, create an inspiring, energetic overall ambiance.

Hybrid spaces with a feel-good factor.

Hybrid exhibition spaces replicate the everyday scenarios where many people feel most comfortable today: seamlessly switching between multiple screens while conversing with others. Our LED lighting design embraces this dynamic, transforming the booth floor into an intuitive navigation surface that engages visitors with dynamic light movements while helping them find their way.

Bridging analog and virtual reality.

Through active sensorimotor engagement with the virtual reality game and its straightforward rules, players’ attention is drawn directly to energy consumption and charging management for electric vehicles.

At the same time, players are not entirely absorbed by the screen; they continue to interact within the physical space and with people around them, such as specialist consultants or observing colleagues.

Cruising through Europe in a virtual EV.

With the “EnergyDrive” game integrated into this spatial environment, we communicate more sustainably and effectively than conventional 2D exhibits ever could. Developed using Unreal Engine, this intuitive game places players in front of a screen where they use both hands to target charging icons or dodge obstacles while speeding down roads in an electric vehicle.

Players choose a European city as their destination and, based on the distance selected, are guided to a specific number of charging stations before arriving. At the end of the journey, they receive a detailed summary of energy consumed and charging times.
