Watch a live demonstration of our engineering game for water infrastructure planning at IFAT 2016, Hall A5, Booth 217, Fraunhofer-Allianz SysWasser on June, 2nd. , 4p.m.!

1. The TWIST-Game aims to provide
laymen and casual users with an
understanding interface for the
complexity of engineered infrastructural
solutions. Within the TWIST-Game, players
are enabled to reconstruct and realize solutions
developed by engineers.
The simulation gives players the opportunity to try out
innovations and to check their immediate local
consequences.
„Play your Village.“
Innovation needs acceptance.
Understanding innovation rises acceptance.

2. The Game loads GIS-data (Shape-format) from villages, city districts
or entire cities and can represent it as an interactive game world.
TWIST++ GAME FEATURE 1
Play your
village!
Automatic Level-Design in the simulation
game
The game world is not designed by the hands of
Game Artists, but the real world is loaded into
the game - as the same GIS-Data (shape
format) that the engineers use for their planning.
The integration of a new water infrastructure
network takes one day.

3. The game has got a bidirectional Interface to the
engineering software for data exchange and computations
(tandler.com + 3sconsult)
TWIST++ GAME FEATURE
The game is connected to planning
software for waterinfrastructure
engineering. It exchanges data and
computations live with the
engineering software.

4. A new approach on project planning -
for the engineers as well as for decision-makers and civic participation.
Construction mode: Building septic tanks for
houses and watch the ecological, economic
and social consequences over time.
Visualization: Placing muti-purpose Hotspots
e.g. shared solutions, troubleshooting, marking
special interest areas

TWIST++ GAME FEATURE 3
The game simulates the
complete water cycle!
The game integrates the planning
software for drinking water supply
(3sconsult) and the planning software
for waste water treatment (tandler.com)

The playtime can take several decades in order to monitor the
consequences of your planning considering different aspects of
sustainability.

7. TWIST++ GAME FEATURE 6
Statistics in the
game
Statistics for the +36 indicators in the simulation that are
mapped to three points accounts of sustainability: ecology,
economy and social

8. The game computes 36
indicators of urban water
economy with a multi-criteria
assessment and maps these
variables onto the three points
accounts of sustainability.

9. PLANING A WATER SUPPLY PROJECT
The following example shows a concept for an innovation
in greywater recycling and energy extraction for the town
of Lünen.
Our software will transfer the project planning into a
simulation game. The game will build upon real planning
data and existing technological modelling. In the
simulation laymen like citizens and Real-World decision
makers like local town councillors will be able to play
through solutions that professionals suggest for
sustainable water supply.

The simulation game calculates with real GIS-Data
and the simulation cores of the engineering
software tools in the background.
