Moscow Government at Russian Energy Week 2024

About the project

The task

The general contractor needed software for three interactives on the stand. Each has an standby mode and a scenario in which the guest starts the content themselves: with a spinner at the model, with buttons in the lift, with a touch of the screen in the quiz. The deadline was 26 September 2024, the forum’s opening day; the brief was signed on 26 August.

What we did

Interactive model

White buildings on a table, each representing a branch of the energy or utilities sector; behind the model is a corner screen. While no guest is there, a splash screen runs — in one of the photos it is the Moscow coat of arms. A guest turns a spinner — buildings on the model light up and a hint appears on the screen. Pressing the spinner starts a video, pressing it again returns the model to standby mode. Each screen has its own spinner and its own video. The screen shows the sections “Gas supply”, “Power generation”, “Electricity supply”, “Water supply”, “Wastewater”, “Heat supply”, “Utility tunnels”, “Digital management”, “Comfortable city” and a map of Moscow with network lines.

“Lift into energy”

An installation in the form of a lift car: a button panel at the entrance, a screen inside. A guest presses a button and a video about a facility plays; pressing again stops it, and another button starts a new one. The videos are about energy and utility facilities: modernised combined heat and power plants, electrical substations, gas equipment manufacturing, wastewater treatment plants, control centres and utility tunnels.

“Your Moscow” quiz

A touch kiosk in front of a large LED wall. Standby mode, a menu, a test of up to ten multiple-choice questions, a result window and a company catalogue: a guest picks a name and opens information about the company. One of the questions is “Which energy resource technologies should be introduced in Moscow?”. The LED wall behind the kiosk shows images of the Moscow of the future.

Combined heat and power plant diagram

An animated diagram for the exhibition at Gostiny Dvor: water and steam move through the pipes and liquid heats up in the boilers. The diagram has 15 points — from the chimney and the steam boiler to the cooling tower, the power line and consumers; tapping a point opens the label of that unit. The legend covers cold and hot water, steam, gas, air, flue gases and electricity. The diagram was made from a ready design in five days, 22–26 September.

How it is built

Model: three-dimensional illuminated buildings on a table, spinners — one for each screen, a corner screen behind the model.

Lift: a car with a screen and a button panel; each button has its own video.

Quiz: a touch kiosk with an LED wall behind it.

All the software was delivered as ready-to-run applications with supporting files.
