From autumn 2023 to spring 2025, BIRD UX worked together with Claudius Brodmann (Claudius on LinkedIn<\/a>) on the UX strategy and User Experience Design of the research project GrowFlowFly, a collaborative project of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), RWTH Aachen University (RWTH), and aratall GmbH. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, the final report for GrowFlowFly was published and can be downloaded free of charge as a PDF from ReNaTe (Repository for Natural Sciences and Technology) <\/strong>: https:\/\/oa.tib.eu\/renate\/items\/8038eb24-6b6f-4897-9270-c6776b4b22e2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excerpt from the summary<\/strong>\u201cThe increasing urgency of transforming energy systems calls for innovative approaches to optimally utilize energy and land-use potentials while more strongly integrating positive design potentials contributed by citizens. The aim of this research project was to develop a digital participation tool and to pilot it in two structural transformation regions (NW & ST) with both experts and citizens. The project conducted a comparative acceptance analysis between conventional renewable energy technologies - wind turbines and ground-mounted photovoltaic systems - and land-efficient innovative renewables, including agri-photovoltaics, floating photovoltaics, and airborne wind energy, while also evaluating the tool\u2019s design and participation potential. In addition to the technological parameters of the renewable energy types, key acceptance factors, landscape-structural spatial requirements, as well as user experience and gamification elements were developed interdisciplinary as framework parameters for the gamification tool.(...)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GrowFlowFly is a prime example of what can be achieved when science, experience design, and technology work together as a team. Since User Experience Design can help convey comprehensive content and information playfully to users without prior knowledge, the usage of UX in research projects can play a decisive role. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
