App story · WebXR · Renewable energy
For RWE Renewables we developed a WebXR application that runs in the browser without an app. In augmented reality, a speaking wind turbine explains how green electricity is generated; a factory and an illuminated daycare centre show how it is used.

AR and VR in the web browser
With our app and software developments, augmented and virtual reality applications also run in the web browser, without downloading an app, on a normal website or as a progressive web app (PWA). One example is the WebXR solution for RWE Renewables on renewable energy.
The application for RWE Renewables
Together with RWE Renewables we developed a 3D application with which customers and other interested parties use their smartphones to experience a plant for generating green electricity in their real surroundings. A rotating, speaking wind turbine explains how renewable energy is generated and how it can be used. A factory that runs on the electricity and an illuminated daycare centre show its use.
Directly in the browser
- 01Open the application in the web browser, without a separate app
- 02The application automatically detects a suitable surface, where the 3D modeled wind turbine can be placed
- 03Call up information and animations via interactive buttons, for example how green electricity is used in homes and reduces the carbon footprint
The predecessors and further WebAR projects
The application builds on the AR app for RWE Renewables from 2021 and the WebAR solution Experiencing Renewables from 2022. More examples of AR in the browser: the WebAR content for the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation and ARcadia. More app stories: App Story 3: 360° live streaming and App Story 7: Uslar.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an app?
No. The application runs on a normal website or as a progressive web app (PWA) in the browser.
What does the application show?
A rotating, speaking wind turbine, plus a factory and an illuminated daycare centre that show how the electricity generated is used; animations explain its use in homes and the carbon footprint.
How do I place the wind turbine?
The application automatically detects a sufficiently large surface; the 3D model can be placed there and operated via buttons.
