Posted project update #1Visualizing Architecture with Main Street MMO: Explore the Historic Millwork District with Virtual CARADCO
Post CommentUsing video games to visualize architecture? Why not? That's what Main Street MMO is all about, and we need YOUR help to take this idea to the next level!
Building an immersive, realtime 3D virtual replica of the city with game engine technology is just the beginning. With it, we can bring architectural blueprints of new development projects to life, and show exactly what new or renovated buildings will look like when construction is completed - all set within a dynamic and ever-changing virtual simulation of the city.
As one example, we had the opportunity to work with the Gronen Restoration team in Dubuque, Iowa over the past several months to create a realtime 3D walk-through of the CARADCO Building in their Historic Millwork District. Check out the video above to see a few of the features of this exciting new project, and be sure to visit a beta version of the virtual tour here: http://dubuque.archvirtual.com/caradco
Just imagine how far we can push game engines to serve as a community resource to help plan, visualize and promote buildings before construction starts? Just imagine how a city could be re-invented within an environment where anything is possible?
We need your help! Become a Main Street MMO backer, and help us build this exciting virtual frontier.
