Spatial Abilities
Spatial abilities are one form of knowledge among others and are fundamental for the orientation and appropriation of the environment for human beings. It is furthermore a success factor for STEM studies. While existing training methods are based on paper-pencil systems, we propose the development of an interactive, ...

A look into the future: urban planning for all with the public digital 3D city model of Winterthur
The project aims to make the digital 3D city model of Winterthur accessible to the general public. This is made possible through the use of an app in combination with VR (virtual reality) technology. Citizens have the opportunity to view planned urban development changes, for example in the context of municipal or ...

“Humans-in-the-loop” – An occupant-centric digital framework for sustainable building operation
The project will develop a digital framework for fusing, analysing, forecasting, and visualising dataflows to promote informed sustainable and occupant-centric building operation decisions, and sustainable behavioural changes of the occupants. To this aim, it is created a detailed energy model (EM) of the Haus ...
