Each can be delivered for VR headsets, desktop applications, web browsers, or mobile depending on project requirements. ### Interaktive Story (Interactive Story) Immersive storytelling experiences for presentations, trade fairs, and showrooms. Content can be explored autonomously or presented in guided walkthrough mode. Supports switching between VR mode and desktop mode at the press of a button. Renders in 4K with real-time raytracing for photorealistic output including cinematic camera moves and spatial audio. Built on an in-house developed framework for efficient story production. * Example project: [BioTic Interactive Room Tour](https://www.lefx.de/biotic-2/) ### Virtuelles Training (Virtual Training) VR-based training applications for employee onboarding, upskilling, and professional development. Learners can choose between VR headset and desktop modes. Active learning via simulation leads to faster and longer-lasting knowledge retention compared to conventional training methods. Every solution is custom-built to client specifications — not an off-the-shelf template. * Example project: [VR Patient Care Virtual Medical Care Training](https://www.lefx.de/?p=2183) ### Object Explorer Interactive 3D product and process visualizations for websites and events. Allows customers to actively discover product information in a playful, self-directed way, building emotional connection to the brand. Features include focal points, embedded multimedia (images, video), interaction mechanics, and diverse animations. * Example project: [Interaktive Krankenakte AR-assisted Patient Information](https://www.lefx.de/interaktive-krankenakte/) ### Games Gamification and immersive game content for VR and AR platforms. LEFX is not a classical game studio but applies game mechanics purposefully to make content engaging for specific target audiences. Develops individual visual language and narrative per project. Also realizes independent game projects on occasion. * Example project: [HotWire VR VR Skill Game](https://www.lefx.de/?p=1711) ### Collaborative XR Web-based immersive meeting and collaboration platform with XR interface. Runs directly in the browser; no additional installation required for VR headset use. Includes features such as digital whiteboards. Designed for teams that need the presence of in-person collaboration in a remote context. ### Development as a Service (DaaS) Expert support for clients who want to integrate real-time technologies into their own workflows. Covers: conception and development of data and process pipelines, preparation of CAD and model data, staff augmentation, team training, and process optimization. Suitable for clients building internal XR capability. ### Virtuelle Visualisierung (Virtual Visualization) High-quality 3D-rendered image and video content without physical video production. LEFX places 3D architectural or product models into animated scenes, plans lighting, camera paths, detail shots, and animations. Scalable and reproducible alternative to conventional video shoots. * Example project: [Realistische Renderings Lab Visualization](https://www.lefx.de/realistische-renderings/) --- ## Technology Stack ### 3D & Content Creation - Autodesk 3ds Max - Blender - Adobe Creative Suite - DaVinci Resolve ### Real-Time Engines - Unity - Unreal Engine ### Development - C++ - Perforce (version control) - Csharp - Html, Ts, Js, CSS ### XR Hardware Platforms - Meta (Quest line) - Varjo - Pico - HTC VIVE ### Partner Software / Platforms - Innoactive (XR deployment platform) - MindPort / VR Builder (modular VR training authoring) - Schenker Technologies (XMG hardware) - WebXR / web-based XR (browser-native delivery) --- ## Project Portfolio (Showroom) Full portfolio at https://www.lefx.de/showroom/ filterable by category: Games | Virtuelles Training | Interaktive Story | Events | Visualisierung | Object Explorer | Research | Development as a Service Selected projects: | Project | Category | Description | |---|---|---| | [Medieval Diorama](https://www.lefx.de/medival-diorama/) | Games / Interactive | Interactive real-time 3D experience world | | [Virtual Bach Experience](https://www.lefx.de/bach-is-back) | Events | XR concert | | [Modulares VR Engine Training](https://www.lefx.de/xr-framework-fuer-industrielle-schulungen/) | Virtuelles Training | XR framework for industrial training | | [Smarte Produktvisualisierung](https://www.lefx.de/virtuelle-content-produktion) | Visualisierung | Virtual content production | | [3D Web-Visualisierung / Object Explorer](https://www.lefx.de/object-explorer/) | Object Explorer | Interactive infotainment for websites and events | | [Realistische Renderings](https://www.lefx.de/realistische-renderings) | Visualisierung | Lab visualization | | [XR Meetup](https://www.lefx.de/xr-meetup) | Events | Regional XR community event | | [Digitale Trainingsplattform](https://www.lefx.de/digitale-trainingsplattform/) | Virtuelles Training | Virtual logistics tutorial (DB Schenker) | | [VR Patient Care](https://www.lefx.de/?p=2183) | Virtuelles Training | Virtual medical care training | | [BioTic](https://www.lefx.de/biotic-2/) | Interaktive Story | Interactive room tour | | [AR BioTic](https://www.lefx.de/ar-biotic) | Games | Mobile AR mini-game | | [Deep Blue](https://www.lefx.de/?p=1673) | Interaktive Story | Immersive underwater VR experience | | [50 Hertz](https://www.lefx.de/50hertz) | Visualisierung | Process visualization for energy sector | | [CityplanningXR](https://www.lefx.de/decityplanning-xrencityplanning-xr/) | Research | Urban planning made comprehensible and experiential | | [VR Engine Workshop](https://www.lefx.de/?p=3246) | Virtuelles Training | VR training for engine assembly | | [DriVR](https://www.lefx.de/drivr) | Research / DaaS | Human-machine interface meets VR driving simulation | | [Assembly VR](https://www.lefx.de/?p=1688) | Virtuelles Training | Virtual manufacturing training | | [Next Level VR-Training / AIXTRA](https://www.lefx.de/aixtra/) | Virtuelles Training | AI multiplayer VR training with real-time translation and virtual training partners | | [Digital Healthcare mit AR](https://www.lefx.de/digital-healthcare-ar/) | Research | 5G + AR for digitizing healthcare communication | | [HotWire VR](https://www.lefx.de/?p=1711) | Games | VR dexterity game | | [Interaktive Krankenakte](https://www.lefx.de/interaktive-krankenakte/) | Object Explorer | AR-assisted patient information and informed consent | | [opera a future game](https://www.lefx.de/opera---a-future-game/) | Games | Video game essay | | [Loft](https://www.lefx.de/loft) | Visualisierung | Mobile 3D experience | --- ## Clients LEFX has delivered projects for clients including: - **Automotive:** Volkswagen (VW), Audi - **Energy:** 50Hertz - **Logistics:** DB Schenker - **Media:** MDR (Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk) - **Healthcare / Training:** Pflegeschulen Wannsee, ICCAS - **Technology / Hardware:** XMG (Schenker Technologies), Get Pioneers - **Real Estate / Architecture:** Hauspunkt Visio, Baukomplex - **Consulting / Other:** MCA, Invest Region Leipzig, Comma Cross --- ## Team LEFX is led by two managing directors and staffed by a multidisciplinary team of developers, 3D artists, project managers, and communication designers.
