From an experimental project to a digital product
How can electrical circuit scenarios be simulated accurately? BIFROST provides simple, entry-level access to a complex issue.
Construction mode: Energy supply in a virtual city
Simulation of energy supply scenarios require the virtual simulation of a city. The tool allows the user to install 3D features such as residential housing, commercial facilities, roads and lakes etc. Powerlines and transformers can be added simply via drag & drop to ensure the energy supply remains intact.
Simulation: What happens when one factor changes?
Whether it's the weather, or an incident downtown causes a blip in the virtual city, the tool simulates the degree to which specific factors affect the power grid. A circular UI element enables the speed of the simulation to be adjusted.
The challenge: Can you optimise the power grid in a virtual city?
Voltage readings, power outputs, climacticconditions... Professional power grid management can be a tough and complex challenge.
BIFROST is a tool for Siemens employees, municipal planning officers, energy supply experts and all those who wish to build a virtual city. It's edutainment!
Unique 3D design
Simplified yet powerful imagery. Emphasis was placed on modern, low-poly design to guarantee good usability and web performance. The tool generates strong brand awareness in Siemens's blue-green and grey corporate colours. The buildings and the element styling are absolutely distinctive, giving the user the opportunity to draft his/her own idealised municipal environment.
Complex state-of-the-art technological developments can only be achieved by a comprehensive mix of top specialists. pixelart is helping us to identify the limits of BIFROST's viability.
