Description:
Within this large scale project, Medialand created a 3D visual
database and many visual simulations to illustrate and make
possible the validation of various urban design proposals. Thanks
to the digital model that was created, different communication
tools were developed, such as a CD-ROM, a web site with several
interactive animations showing different routes around the site
and panoramic views (using Quicktime). These visual tools made
it possible to simulate major road developments such as the
demolition or construction of bridges, changes in road design
and the planting of street trees.
