Exascale Supercomputer Inauguration

  • Project Name: Inauguration of Europe’s First Exascale Supercomputer
  • Client: EuroHPC
  • Location: Autoworld Brussels
  • Date: June 2025

 

For this landmark event, AUX developed a fully interactive 3D virtual exhibition, bringing Europe’s exascale supercomputing initiative to a global digital audience. Hosted at Autoworld Brussels, the event celebrates innovation by linking the heritage of horsepower with the computational power of tomorrow.

 

Project Scope

Our team created a comprehensive digital twin of the physical event space, featuring:

  • Accurate 3D modeling of Autoworld, Herman de Croo stage, and exhibition zones
  • Interactive booths for 20 EU-funded HPC projects and 10 supercomputers, each with touchscreen displays for applications, technical specs, and live demos
  • A central EuroHPC stand with embedded screens, a live quiz, and touch-activated dashboards highlighting achievements, calls, and interactive content
  • 360° rendered environments of key zones: stage, booths, boulevard
  • Logical participant flow including wayfinding paths, branded elements, plants, and seating zones

 

Key Features

  • High-resolution virtual replicas of supercomputer stands, each with a four-sided display: imagery, applications, technical specs, and an embedded media screen
  • A browser-native virtual tour accessible worldwide, with dynamic interaction for each featured asset
  • Support for live or pre-recorded speaker videos, interactive infopoints, and analytics tracking
  • Modular design to support event gamification and participant challenges

 

The EuroHPC  inauguration became more than a one-day event, it became an on-demand, immersive virtual experience that extended its reach, showcased technical excellence, and delivered lasting educational and branding impact across Europe and beyond.
