Interactive architectural scale models

A manager selects a building, floor or unit and the corresponding part of the model lights up. The display shows its plan and description. A presentation mode can guide viewers through the development, coordinating lighting with images and video.

We build these systems for sales offices, exhibitions and presentation spaces. Our scope covers software and electronics; physical model fabrication is coordinated with a model workshop.

• Electronics logic. Define controlled elements, commands and responses to visitor actions.
• Controllers. Develop controllers and control software for the specified model systems and connect them to the presentation application.
• Addressable lighting. Select buildings, floors, units and zones, with status colours and presentation sequences.
• Touch interface. Navigation, plans, object details and presentation modes on a control console.
• Data connections. Connect the object catalogue and, where required, CRM unit statuses, with agreed data fields and update rules.
• Presentation scenarios. Coordinate lighting, screen content and any moving elements included in the project.

The hotel complex model supports individual room selection, floor and zone highlighting, lighting scenarios and CRM synchronisation. A touch console controls the presentation, connecting on-screen information to the corresponding part of the building.

Our role: interactivity concept, control system, software, lighting solutions, CRM integration and scenario setup. Maklarin model workshop: architectural detailing and fabrication of the physical model.

For a new model, we coordinate lighting, wiring, controllers and maintenance access with the workshop. Object identifiers in the electronics must match the on-screen catalogue.

For an existing model, we first inspect its lighting, wiring access, available space and current controls. This determines which functions can be added and which components need replacement.

1. Define scenarios. Specify the user’s choices, screen and model responses, and presentation start and finish.
2. Test the connection. Assemble a representative interface, controller and lighting section.
3. Develop the system. Program the interface, electronics, data exchange and presentation sequences.
4. Integrate with the workshop. Check addressing and responses on the physical model.
5. Launch on site. Test the agreed scenarios, restart and recovery, and hand over operating instructions.

The agreed control system with controllers, software and configured scenarios, connection and addressing documentation, and launch and maintenance instructions. Equipment, spares, source materials and support are specified in the project scope.

We work directly with developers or take responsibility for a defined technical scope for an agency or exhibition contractor, coordinating with the model workshop and installation team.

Send model dimensions, photos or drawings, the objects to be controlled and the intended presentation sequence. For an existing model, include available electronics and lighting information. Specify the deadline, venue and CRM requirements so we can propose the system and delivery stages.
