Paris, France

We’ve developed a 3-minute interactive experience allowing users to navigate through 3 different cities in a real-time 3D model. The objective is to operate a streetcar, making two stops at designated stations within a specified time frame, optimizing power consumption by utilizing the streetcar’s inertia, and ensuring passenger comfort. The experience includes various events designed to challenge participants. The control console replicates the throttle, brake lever, and multiple control buttons, aiming to simulate the complexities of streetcar operation. Successful completion of this training is crucial for a public network operator like RATP, as its performance is gauged by service quality and passenger safety.
