Imagine your project as a virtual world where you can walk, drive, fly anywhere within and experience your environment as it currently exists. See how it might look in the future after changes or when project being completed. Walk around or through and sense what they will be like, not limited to your ordinary rendered images of the project but to visualize and evaluate proposed developments within context and from any view point.

All of this is now possible by Urban Simulation. Previously, the use of this technology has been primarily limited to the exclusive realm of military and aerospace applications. Now as the technology becomes more affordable and with the recent advances in PC graphics hardware and software boomed by the game market, it becomes feasible for planners, architects, designers, and community groups to use it to visualize and evaluate proposed changes and new developments in the urban environment. Urban Simulation can be used for: Design Engineering Analysis Planning Evaluation Consensus Building Communication Evaluation Sales and Marketing

A varied user community that is made up of city planners, commercial developers, designers, architects, tenants, investors and A&E firms require increasing levels of support for interactive presentations and analysis of the urban environment and proposed projects. Urban simulation helps to overcome this need in reconstructing the virtual 3D world to easily, realistically, and naturally communicate with major benefits.

Interactively visualize and evaluate proposed changes and new developments in the urban environment, enabling user to travel anywhere and view any part with an accurate perspective Integrate existing systems such as CAD and GIS with realtime visual simulation, which can then be used for interactive walk-through demonstrations See and analyze the physical impacts of a development prior to construction or investment Preview of how the entire project will look within its proposed surroundings when completed Visually understand the impact of a proposed development in an intuitive and interactive way Avoid design problems and discover them by using realtime, three dimensional simulation during the early planning stage Visualize various design alternatives for better design decisions and communication to the clients Analyze the various physical and ultimately financial impacts of a project to make better development decisions Urban Simulation is an innovative method for experiencing the “as-built” before it is actually built. In the most basic form Urban Simulation helps effectively to see and analyze the physical impacts of a development prior to its construction or investment. Designers have experimented with colored maps and site plans, cardboard models, rich renderings, photomontages or a combination of any of these. However none of the above tools have served to offer a complete and effective technique to convey past, present and future of a “place” to the wide array of diverse players as Urban Simulation does. This is because it is interactive, intuitive, changeable, photo-realistic and adaptable.

Urban Simulation can be applied for: Real Estate Firms Private Developers Architectural Firms City Planning and Municipalities Government Organizations Civic Associations Utilities and Public Works Real estate firms can provide sales and marketing information analysis, provide location based search capabilities of sites and buildings and integrate custom 3D indoor models of real estate sites and buildings. Private developers can communicate site plans dynamically to interested clients, utility companies can manage existing underground infrastructure, city planners can interactively judge the impact of proposed developments, government organizations can plan, monitor and train for security related scenarios for emergency planning, for tourism and travel creating the virtual cities. All with the use of Kaletron Urban Simulation…
