Smart Building Data visualisation with a 3D printed controller

Sometimes data cannot be easily read through graphs, lists or maps. Sometimes we need 3D. That’s why we mapped our climate sensor data onto a realtime 3D model. To control this ‘digital twin’ we also created a physical controller, shaped after our office building (KBF). This is the KBF-controller. Please note: I wrote this article…

Consumenten lijken van hun verzekeraar te verwachten deze (r-)evolutie te verrekenen door het verlagen van premies en te komen met slimme waardeproposities. Maar hoe kunnen verzekeraars een relevante…
