Digitallinia 302: Augmented Reality brings Bochum and Gelsenkirchen to the digital age!

Bochum and Gelsenkirchen will rely on digital innovations - with the introduction of the "Digitallinie 302". This special tram project has so much more to offer than just driving from A to B. The goal: to make digital urban development tangible for everyone. Tram line 302 becomes the stage of innovative technologies.

About the "Digitallinie 302" app can access people at stops to exciting augmented reality content. At various stations along the route, the digital change in Gelsenkirchen becomes tangible-from the vision of the DE-LA-Chevallerie-Straße to climate-friendly solutions that are presented in the Open Innovation Lab. A virtual companion named "Potti" provides information and support so that everyone can get the best out of their experience. [Bochum.de] reports that the topics of mobility, climate protection and modern working worlds develop through innovative insights.

digital experiences and hands -on activities

The digitall line 302 not only inspires with its interactive elements, but also with a variety of experience points. In Bochum, the transformation of urban rooms becomes visible, starting at the Westpark, where a living park emerged from a former steelworks site, right down to the historic Bochum town hall with its digital lituris column and the "House of Knowledge". Here, too, exciting content on city history and digital future visions are installed, which are provided for scanning by QR codes-a real profit for technology enthusiasts and curious city.

Another highlight of the digital line are the five adventure stations on Heinrich-König-Platz, which deal intensively with the topic of climate change. Here it becomes clear how important sustainability has become in urban development. After all, the entire initiative is part of the funding by the Federal Ministry of Living, Urban Development and Building, which supports creative approaches to digitization in urban rooms. [digitaltag.eu] adds that during the Digital Day campaign day in the Bochum Education and Administration Center, information stands with lectures, courses and hands-on activities will be found.

a step into the future

But the digitall line 302 is only part of a larger plan. Germany relies on smart cities in which digital solutions are supposed to overcome the urban challenges. [bmwsb.bund.de] illustrates the goals of the federal government to simplify complex planning and participation processes. Both the city administration and the citizens benefit from this. Intelligent systems for the control of resources and the development of adaptable buildings are part of the vision for a sustainable future.

With the support of partners such as the Bogestra for mobility and the technical implementation by the Soester software company Swcode, the project shows that digital change in the city is not only possible, but also tangible. Curious people can still find out on the website [www.digitallinie302.de] and conveniently download the app from the App Store and Google Play Store.

The digitall line 302 could be the first step into a more lively, more digital future for Bochum and Gelsenkirchen. Seen in this way, the cities have not only served their citizens, but also technology - and show how digitization is a bit closer every day.
