CUBEVISION 2 explained by Bastian Niemann: https://youtu.be/8g811ubUzoo AUTOMATICALLY CREATED VISUALISATIONS. With the help of the «Quick Setup» the configuration can be done in only three steps: 1. create building structure, 2. select background images and 3. add control elements. The visualization automatically generates itself from these data. It couldn’t be easier and faster. MAKES YOU INDEPENDENT. WITH ADDICTION FACTOR. This visualization impresses with a sophisticated, consistent design and is always generated from the same configuration data. UNIQUE OPERATING CONCEPT. Your building is represented in the form of a cube. By sliding to the right or left you navigate through rooms, by sliding up or down through the floors. Regardless of the visualization level you are in, CUBEVISION always provides you with the perfect depiction of the desired functions. CREATE SCENES AND SMARTHOME FUNCTIONS DIRECTLY IN THE VISUALISATION. The brand new Smart Function Creator makes it easy and intuitive to create smart home functions. Add any elements of the visualization to a scene by dragging and dropping and use clocks and events as triggers. Connect several of these triggers with AND or OR links. Creating smart home functions is easy with CUBEVISION 2.
