Comprehensive design concepts are used to make the cities of the future more efficient, more technologically advanced, greener, and more socially inclusive. These concepts are summarized under the title “Smart City”. These solutions target all areas of urban living.

Our core competence visual computing helps optimize infrastructures such as supply networks. It provides for sustainable development in urban settings, supports the energy turnaround, and drives intelligent living.

Smart living

Smart living uses a variety of technologies and methods to create an environment that helps its residents tackle everyday tasks. Desires and needs are dynamically recognized so the systems can respond appropriately.

Living Lab

The Fraunhofer IGD Living Lab was established in 2008 as a showroom and test environment for ambient intelligence and assisted living applications. It has already been mentioned in numerous articles, TV documentaries and scientific publications.
