VirtuelCity: 29 towns in 3D

By 3D Modelling, Google Earth

The movie embedded below is well worth taking some time out to watch. It details the Vectuel’s (a French 3D modelling company) techniques for constructing virtual cities:

Of note is the combination of stereo pair derived models with the street level capture, its interesting to get a view of their van as it drives around town grabbing textures.

The movie of Montbéliard illustrates the quality of output:

Take a look at Vectuels site for more info.

Digital Urban is Undergoing Cosmetic Changes

By Posts

We are about to implement a new look to the blog – one of the joys of blogger is that all the changes go live so for the next few hours the site could well have some strange behaviors…

We should be back up and running shortly..

*Update*

The first phase seems to be up and running, there will be some tweaks over the coming days but for now we have a new layout with comments up front and hopefully a easier to use site.

Any thoughts?

Second Life Presentation/Booklets/Conference

By Digital Geography in a Web 2.0 World Event, Neogeography, Second Life, Web 2.0

Things are shaping up for tomorrows conference on Digital Geography and Web 2.0 at the Barbican, Cinema 2, London.

Our talk is not Powerpoint based but instead mainly running via IMovie with overlays timed to get across our points. For those coming, look away now, but for those unable to make London a section of our Second Life talk is embedded below, examining our use of NATURE Island:

Having moved from a PC a month or so ago it has been interesting using a Mac to rebuild presentations, IMovie has been a joy to use so far. Ok back to the Google/Virtual Earth section as thats still to do…

The Blog will be back as normal and with a new look after the conference, we will also have news on the availability of the booklets.
