The technology demo below provides an insight into the possibilities:

With a notable rendering quality, combined with the dynamic shade and shadows, realXtend creates an interesting and comparably low-cost way to experience an architectural design.

If you are at all interested in Virtual Architecture we recommend a trip over to The Arch Network, set up by Jon Brouchoud it focuses on the communication of architecture via Virtual Worlds. We will be taking a closer look at realXtend while our development using Unity is put on hold (our Mac was stolen).

The Unity work will return as soon we get a replacement laptop sorted and our files restored via Time Machine.

See The Arch Network for more details on SketchUp models running in realXtend.
