ÖAMTC Mobility Center

The ÖAMTC Infocenter is a multimedia exhibition integrated into the ÖAMTC headquarters in Vienna. It spans multiple floors and blends digital content with tactile interaction. Designed to enhance visitor engagement, the installation features large display surfaces, interactive stations, and a striking vertical media axis.

Various exhibits incorporate unconventional input devices that reference the history of mobility and the ÖAMTC. One station features an interface built from a vintage steering wheel, allowing users to navigate digital content by turning the wheel or honking the horn. Another resembles a historical radio, where visitors can tune large dials to listen to archived ÖAMTC emergency broadcasts.

A real-time data visualization is located outside the ÖAMTC call center. On suspended screens, live service requests and humorous quotes from past calls are displayed, offering a direct visual connection between visitors and the operators behind the content.

On the third floor, media stations explore the ÖAMTC’s air rescue services, showcasing animations of helicopter flight routes. However, the installation’s centerpiece is a towering vertical media axis stretching from the ground floor to the sixth level. Large LED panels display incoming ÖAMTC emergency calls as dynamic, generative animations, transforming real-time dispatch data into an evolving digital artwork embedded within the building’s architecture.
