The energy transition brings a shift from consumption-based generation to generation-based consumption. In this process, citizens themselves assume the role of energy producers. Afounded understanding of the complex interrelationships in the energy system of the future is thus necessary not only for decision-makers, but also for the general public.

Citizens gain insight into the interrelationships of the energy system 

The central vision of the project is to interactively involve citizens in the transformation of the energy systemby creating an intuitive understanding of the complex interrelationships in the energy system of the future. For this reason, augmented reality or virtual reality will be used to provide an intuitive insight into the energy transition. A playful and realistic interaction, which goes beyond a mere visualization, also enables energy system laypersons a vivid access to interrelationships of energy system components with each other or with the environment as well as the associated effects, which thus supplements the existing energy atlas of the Ministry of the Environment BW with another component.
