Client Description:
This project was commissioned by Heijmans, which is a construction and maintenance company based in Rosmalen, The Netherlands. Heijmans provides construction and maintenance services regarding residential, commercial, infrastructure and civil construction. This includes many types of buildings like: Offices, schools, hospitals and more.
Description of the Assignment
The assignment was to design and make a prototype for an alternate reality game, which could be played by customers of Heijmans, at the contracted building on an event day, in order to gather 3D building data.
Game Description:
Firefront is an AR game which focuses on resolving certain firefighter related issues. This will be done in the form of an event day. During these event day, residents or employees will explore the building in teams where they reside in, and they will ‘fix’ these issues and compete for first place. Players have only one tool at hand and will thus need to work together to find and use the correct tools and fix these events with said tools.
The game also has a process running in the background. While the players are playing the game, the used phones will also record the building with the help of 3D scanning to make a 3D scan of to allow Heijmans to create an accurate blueprint of said building. This also allows them to do maintenance more efficiently in these buildings.
