GrowBike.Net
2021-07 | ![]() | An interactive visualization platform growing cohesive urban bicycle networks - something that every modern city should have. Studying these synthetic networks informs us about the geometric limitations of urban bicycle network growth and can lead to better designed bicycle infrastructure in cities. GrowBike.Net accompanies the scientific paper "Growing Urban Bicycle Networks". GrowBike.Net

What the Street!?
2017-06 | ![]() | An online platform for the interactive exploration of city-wide mobility spaces. The aim of What the Street!? is to facilitate the intuitive exploration of (wasted) mobility space in cities, exploring to which extent space is distributed unevenly between different modes of transportation, and how massive areas of car parking could be regained for the public. What the Street?! was added to Futurium's permanent exhibition in 2019. What the Street!?

Pardus
present 2004-07 | ![]() | Wikipedia: Pardus is an award-winning graphical browser-based MMORPG written in PHP and C/C++ and set in a futuristic universe where players interact and compete in space. It is a persistent-universe, open-ended game with a player-driven economy. Players travel through hundreds of "sectors" or solar systems while trading, building or battling with Non-Player Characters (NPCs) and other players. There are dozens of spacecraft models in Pardus, which can be customized with different weapons, armor and other equipment. Pardus characters do not have a defined 'class'. Partially inspired by classic computer games such as Elite and Master of Orion II, Pardus was developed and published by the Austrian company Bayer & Szell OG. Alpha testing of the game began September 2004 and the core feature set was finished by October 1, 2006. The game was featured in dozens of media and has a worldwide user base of over 400,000 players. Pardus |
