3D content and installation

The interactive area of our «living 3D markers» augmented reality system comprises a display system and a special table in front of the screen where you can find colored urban landscapes, and a set of markers.

The camera is set above the display.

While the system is idle, one can enjoy views of Kogalym on the display.

The screensaver can be stopped whenever needed by placing any of the «living 3D markers» within the camera’s field of view.

This will turn on the interactive system, and a visitor see the urban landscape on the display.

There are 17 «living 3D markers» in the project.

1.    Apartment building: 3 pcs.
2.    Tree: 3 pcs.
3.    Vehicle: 3 pcs.
4.    Man: 3 pcs.
5.    Lightpole: 1 pc.
6.    Traffic light: 1 pc.
7.    Lukoil logo: 1 pc.
8.    Well platform: 1 pc.
9.    Eraser: 1 pc.

Virtual eraser is yet another useful option by EligoVision. It helps quickly remove any 3D item which was misplaced or became redundant.

Besides, you can make multiple clones of any item, e.g. you can construct similar buildings, plant a lot of trees, etc.

These functions and a wide variety of 3D models help young players create unique urban landscapes and make the game even more amusing!
