A wind turbine that explains
At the centre is a rotating, “humanised” wind turbine. It answers three questions: Where does the renewable energy come from? How much electricity can the plants generate? And what can the green electricity be used for?
After a short introduction, users place the wind turbine on a sufficiently large surface; the app indicates as soon as a suitable plane has been detected.
Buttons open animations: they show, for example, how the electricity is used in homes or drives machines and thus reduces the carbon footprint.
Project and partners
The project was created in a cooperation between RWE Renewables and the IT company codecentric AG. The design (UI/UX) and programming of the app are by EXCIT3D. The app was presented at the industry event RE-Source in Amsterdam. The iOS app is available in the App Store.
