Virtual London – Available via Skape World January 2010

By Virtual London

Its been some years coming but finally a high resolution, photomapped Virtual London model is about to be released. Its been produced by Infoterra under their new ‘Skape’ initative which we wrote about a few months ago. The results are quite simply stunning and possibly the best 3D city model we have seen to date.

We don’t have the full facts and figures yet, but the model launches to Skape users in January/February 2010. Its nice to see Infoterra taking the lead on this, they were the company who helped us out with our early Virtual London work and one of the few companies actively involved in University based research and sharing their data.

Take a look at http://www.skapeworld.com/ for more info.

See also the Skape Blog for the latest news on the software, views and development.

By android, google maps, Historical Imagery, iphone

Walking Through Time is a research project developing iPhone and Android apps that architectural historians, conservationists and tourists to swap the Google base map for a historical map – i.e., allowing a user to ‘Walk Through Time’.

The movie clip below provides a neat guide to the concept:

In short, we really like this, the ability to load up a historical map based on your current location opens up all sort of possibilities from historical tours through to viewing the changing layout of the city over time.

The project is funded through a JISC grant and is collaboration between Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) and Edinburgh University (UoE) with development led by Chris Speed and Ian Campbell of ECA with Tim Urwin, EDINA / UoE, Petra Leimlehner, UoE,Peter Pratt, UoE, Karlyn Sutherland, UoE.

The app is currently in prototype form – keep an eye on http://walkingthroughtime.eca.ac.uk/ for more news on a release.
