Convincing stakeholders about wave energy

WEPTOS is developing a new type of wave energy converter. The concept behind this machine is invented by designer and engineer Tommy Larsen in 2007 and has produced significant test results at ever since. Today, Weptos has their own research and development center in Fredericia, Denmark, and is in full motion with testing and improvements of the machine and concept.

Challenge

The main challenge was the technically complex concept, that had to be made comprehensible to investors and other stakeholders.

Since Tommy Larsen has worked on the project full time for several years, it is a great challenge for anyone to try to organise and structure the massive knowledge generated, and then to tell the story about a technical complex concept, in a short and easily understandable way. Several days of meeting with the developer at the Weptos R&D center, followed by a series of iterations, enabled us to get a full understanding of the complex concept.

Deliverables

We made two 3D animations: a shorter one for the public and a longer one, which was confidential. Next to that, we made infographics for keynote presentations and a booklet.
