CRTKL’s Digital Evolution Lab is an internal, virtual hackathon designed to inspire a culture of digital innovation by envisioning new tools and services.

2021’s theme was – Reality Engine: Building architectural tools and services of the future using game engines.

A game engine is a software framework designed initially to develop video games, typically offering a suite of tools and features. Not only can game engines create interactive simulations and realistic graphics, but they have real-time capabilities, such as real-time rendering and real-time data flow.

Our participants competed in small teams to develop a conceptualized tool or service to showcase how CRTKL can best utilize game engines in new ways beyond architectural design visualization. Their goal was to envision what will be inspiring and disruptive to our business, industry, and beyond.
