3D Animations and VR Models (viewed best in HD/full screen):

Forum8′s booth at the 2011 Intelligent Transport Systems world congress in Orlando.

This animation features a 3D mesh resurfacing tool developed by Forum8AZ.

UK Train station model featuring Legion pedestrian simulation.

Used for traffic simulation, real-time visualization, urban design, planning, and architecture projects, the Digital Phoenix 3D model provides a content-rich environment for tackling urban challenges of all varieties.

An interactive educational tool for young drivers, VR Drive runs users through a driving tour of Westport, Ireland, a hazard course, and an ECO-drive challenge that demonstrates how aggressive gas/braking behaviors affect fuel consumption.

This VR model demonstrates changes to an 8 signal phase intersection in Nedlands, Australia. The model was created to demonstrate the added efficiency of minor changes to slip lanes and signal timings.

World16 Research:

Prof. Tomohiro Fukuda, Associate Professor of Environmental Design & Information Technology at Osaka University, developed a mechanism of linking a 1/300 scale physical model of Nakanoshima with a virtual model of the same area. Pointing at the physical model with a laser pointer, a user can take a virtual tour through the model to see additional information, environmental context, various lighting effects, and even real-time traffic simulation.

This project, headed by Prof. Wael Abdelhameed of the University of Bahrain, and Prof. Amar Bennadji of Robert Gordon University, presents a VR model of Torry Academy and the de-construction of a housing complex by each primary component. The purpose of the model will be to visualize different insulation types and their effects on heating/cooling efficiency.

This animation features automatically generated building models and street network. The components are imported and displayed in UC-win/Road, a real-time 3D graphics and traffic simulation environment. 3D imagery and concept was developed by Prof. Marcos Novak of University of California, Santa Barbara.
