An immersive showroom experience for the smart BRABUS tailor made.
Interactive 3D configuration on large-format touch displays.
At the IAA 2017, the smart BRABUS tailor made was designed to be experienced as a tactile brand experience while simultaneously enabling a scalable web solution. The goal was to excite visitors, showcase product variants in real-time, and create a foundation for international rollout and mobile performance.

Realism and performance defined the solution.
The application needed to combine photorealistic rendering with low latency so that both trade fair visitors and remote users could enjoy a seamless experience.
A WebGL configurator that puts the car at the center and makes interaction enjoyable.
We delivered optimized 3D models and meshes, custom-developed shaders and lighting settings, a React/Redux frontend, camera color picker, idle mode, and a continuous delivery pipeline for textures and assets. The solution was optimized for dedicated showroom hardware and prepared for later web rollout.

Technology and team ensured stable performance.
Thanks to low-poly mesh, specialized shaders, and close collaboration between creative engineering and frontend, the application ran on high-end hardware without noticeable latency. Thousands of visitors configured their smart at the IAA 2017; feedback highlighted the high visual quality, intuitive operation, and joy of use.


The greatest impact came from the close integration of design and engineering: continuous testing on real devices, prioritized product sprints, and a clear asset workflow enabled a scalable, maintainable solution that connects the trade fair experience with later web rollout.
