Our Data Visualisation and Simulation Projects

ARC Marine

ARC Marine Ltd are creating eco-friendly building materials for use in our oceans, with current focus on reef-cubes, which are hollow and stackable, reinforced and sustainable blocks. 

They can be used for a range of engineering and scientific purposes, including turbine support, scour protection and pipeline covering, while providing a supportive habitat for ocean life and for reef regeneration. 

ARC Marine approached Impact Lab with a wide range of scenarios and types of content that will be brought together to create a high-end simulation and animation, demonstrating the potential and implementation of their technology.

Elemental Digest

Elemental Digest Ltd are an innovative Agri-Food Tech company, developing and testing their new homogenous, sustainable organo-mineral fertiliser, ‘Thallo®’. Their circular process converts abattoir and industrial wastes into a sterile, granular fertiliser rich in minerals, micro-nutrients and soluble carbon compound to revitalise soils and bio-fortify the food chain. The University of Plymouth provided support by delivering a 3D animation that communicated the technology, science and benefits to a wide target audience.

In addition, detailed imagery and chemical analysis of the fertiliser granules by the PEMC gave further insight into the structure, properties and performance of the fertiliser. The results have become important elements of their sales and marketing data to further advance their company and explain their market differentiation and IP.

FIGS

Famas Integrated Geoservices (FIGS) is an emerging business, which provides geological services and consulting.

By looking into the environmental futures of sites in both the UK and across Africa, FIGS hopes to develop collaborative relationships, operational sectors and use of data collection and visualisation. 

Initially the project began as brand design with us creating the logo, font and colour scheme. Impact Lab took this further by developing a prototype customisable map that shows clients, partners and areas of interest. This is initially focusing on mining activities within Devon.

Kents Cavern

Kents Cavern is a prehistoric cave system situated in Torquay. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, notable for its rich archaeological and geological features. It is a popular tourist attraction with international, educational and cultural appeal.

The Kents Cavern Foundation takes charge of all education, outreach and conservation and is interested in digitally preserving the cave and creating immersive experiences to help explain to visitors about the human, geological and archaeological history of the site.

PulsiV

PulsiV have been optimising a prototype for their solar micro-inverter. PulsiV wanted to attract investment towards commercialisation and achieving the most efficient technology possible.

Impact Lab offered support to create an animation to communicate clearly the potential of their environmentally improved technology, and as a vehicle for data visualisation illustrating comparative figures with industry competition. Impact Lab underwent a process of narration writing, storyboarding, prototyping, asset creation, animation, audio recording and editing. The original artwork and animation style was created to fit the existing branding deployed on the PulsiV website. This animation was then shared with the engineering firm Bosch, helping secure collaborative support for PulsiV, which will help provide improvements for future innovation within renewable energy and efficient power usage.

Willand Group

Willand Group is a systems integrator developing advanced, environmentally sustainable, livestock housing systems for the agricultural sector.

The Group accessed Impact Lab support to model the system they are bringing to the market. The work included creating 3D imagery of several aspects, followed by a visualisation piece to explain the scientific benefits of the infrastructures and how it can be applied to different livestock and crops.

Fieldwork Robotics

Fieldwork Robotics develop modular, multi-crop, soft and adaptive robots for use in non-controllable environments such as agriculture fields. This patent-pending technology replicates human movements using soft-arms and grippers, designed to identify, pick and handle delicate fruit with high specifications, such as temperature and appearance.

The Impact Lab visualisation team created an animation to help explain the complexities of the robotics, how their service works and the benefits of using them. Helping both the public, businesses and investors understand this technology will help some of the issues facing the agriculture industry. Support was also given on logo design and branding.

Kaleider

Kaleider is a production studio that produces artwork and supports others to create and deliver programmes that invite audiences to think about the world.

Impact lab delivered an introductory Fulldome workshop using a 3-meter inflatable dome with fisheye projection within the Kaleider studio space. The day included demonstrations, tutorials and discussion focused on the use of 360 degree cameras, animation workflows and game engine software to construct immersive environments to engage with audiences.
