You might know the Port of Rotterdam as Europe's bustling trade hub, but it's also a hotbed for bright ideas, especially when it comes to sustainability. The brand-new Portlantis experience center is the perfect place to see this in action. It’s a stunning building overlooking Maasvlakte II (designed by the famous MVRDV!), built to tell the incredible stories of the port – its fascinating past, busy present, and especially its exciting, greener future.
And we're thrilled to be part of that story! Head up to the third floor of Portlantis, and you'll find something really special we helped create: an augmented reality (AR) adventure focused on renewable energy. Using our own AR technology, tailored just for Portlantis, we're bringing the port's energy transition story to life in a whole new way.
Your Journey into Innovation
Once you're on the third floor, you'll get a simple device that's all set up and ready to go. As you wander among the beautifully crafted sculptures and displays, just point your device at them. Suddenly, you'll see digital magic layered right onto the real world:
Fun 3D guides: pop up to lead kids on a playful journey, explaining sustainability in an easy-to-grasp way.
You'll even get a personal welcome to the app and the experience from the CEO of the Port of Rotterdam!
Tap on points of interest to get the inside scoop on the port's specific green projects and practices.
Discover exactly how Rotterdam is leading the charge towards clean energy and aiming for carbon neutrality.
This mix of physical exhibits and digital wonder turns static displays into living stories. It makes the port's commitment to a greener tomorrow feel real, immediate, and exciting. We've heard fantastic feedback from everyone – school groups, tech enthusiasts, industry folks, and curious families all love how easy, immersive, and genuinely educational it is.

Why Bring in Augmented Reality?
Let's face it, AR is changing the game for places like museums and visitor centers. It lets you dive deeper than ever before. Our platform, customized for Portlantis, means you get to choose what you want to learn, explore at your own pace, and even tackle interactive challenges. The result? You're more involved, the information actually sticks, and you walk away with fun memories worth sharing.
We worked closely with Portlantis to make sure everything, from the look and feel to the content itself, perfectly tells their unique story about renewable energy and the port's future. It’s a brilliant example of how technology can make learning about important topics like sustainability engaging and fun.
