Real estate · Augmented reality · EXPO REAL 2022
The E-Group from Herne develops commercial real estate with a focus on sustainability. At EXPO REAL 2022 in Munich it showed planned buildings as digital twins in augmented and virtual reality. The 3D models and the app were created by EXCIT3D.

2021: the Europagarten in AR and 360°
Our cooperation began at EXPO REAL 2021. Based on the architect’s plans we modeled the Europagarten in Herne (in German), which has since been completed. In the AR app the planned building could be viewed from all sides on a smartphone or tablet. Tapping a door opened a 360° tour of the interior, for example through the planned daycare center, from room to room.
2022: Kaiserquartier and logistics hall with animated traffic
For 2022 two planned buildings were added: the Kaiserquartier in Herne and a logistics hall in Sehnde-Ost in Lower Saxony.
Animated cars and trucks drive on the parking lots of the models. They make proportions and processes on the site easier to grasp than a static model.
Together with the Europagarten, the E-Group app thus contained three projects; it was made available via Google Play and the App Store. At the stand, E-Group staff also presented the logistics hall and the Kaiserquartier with VR and AR glasses.
What property developers use digital twins for
- Marketing
- Prospective tenants and investors see a building before it is built, from the outside and as a tour inside.
- Trade fair and showroom
- Several projects fit on one tablet. VR glasses make the impression more spatial.
- Communication
- Cities, neighbors and the public can see planned projects in the townscape.
In an interview with the business development agency Herne.Business, Dr. Nicolas Potysch of the E-Group talked about the projects; the photo at the top shows a screenshot from this interview.
The technology behind it is described on our pages on augmented reality and 3D modeling.
Show buildings before construction
We model your project from the architect’s plans and bring it to trade fairs and websites as an AR app, VR application or 360° tour.

Frequently asked questions
Which documents does EXCIT3D need for such a model?
The architect’s plans of the building. From them we model the building and prepare it for AR, VR or 360°.
Which devices do prospective buyers need?
A smartphone or tablet with iOS or Android. VR and AR glasses are an option for trade fairs and showrooms.
Can interiors be shown as well?
Yes, for example as a 360° tour that, as with the Europagarten, opens directly from the AR model.
