Science communication at the HSLU Visitor Center

The iHomeLab Visitor Center is undergoing a transformation to enhance public engagement with smart technologies and sustainable energy solutions. This initiative focuses on three core areas: visual communication, UX design and citizen science.

Status:

Ongoing

Period:

01.02.2025 - 31.01.2027

Overview

The project aims to develop interactive visual tools that simplify complex scientific concepts such as IoT, smart energy systems, and digital twins. Through graphics, animation, and storytelling, technical information will be made more accessible to diverse audiences. Additionally, short thematic videos will be produced to adapt to various tour formats, enhancing flexibility in knowledge dissemination.

To improve the UX and interactivity of exhibits, usability assessments will identify areas for enhancement in clarity, engagement, and accessibility. The project also explores augmented and virtual reality (AR/XR) applications to create immersive experiences that allow visitors to interact with digital twins and smart technology simulations.

A key component of the initiative is the integration of citizen science, enabling visitors to actively participate in research and data collection. Digital and physical platforms will facilitate public contributions to research projects, such as monitoring energy usage behaviors or engaging in IoT-based experiments. Additionally, citizen science workshops will be designed for diverse audiences, including school groups, families, and industry professionals.
