History of the City of Prague in Virtual Reality
This pages concerns the Virtual model of Prague that aim to show
the city of Prague and its history by virtual reality.
The long term goal of the Praha4D project is to build a
virtual model of
the city of Prague where users could move freely both on the ground
(walk or ride in a vehicle) and in the air (like flying in a
helicopter). But the most significant feature is the incorporation
of time - on small scale (movement of vehicles and eventually
of people too), on mezzo scale (weather changes, day and night,
seasons of the year) and especially on large scale (historical
development of urban settlement).
The full-featured application could not be presented here.
For technical reason there are only screenshots available.
And some low-resolution
movies could be found in the speciales section.
The first, prototype phase of the project was finished in the year 2006.
A new completely re-engineered version is prepared now using the acquired
experience. This new version is based on accurate maps and ortophoto-maps.
Screenshots
Screenshots are divided into
themes.
