Introducing the ArchTech Engine: Transforming buildings, cities and geography into realtime 3D environments

[Intro video]  I am very excited to announce the launch of our new ArchTech Engine, a technology that transforms buildings, cities and geography into realtime 3D environments that are easily accessible, and can be embedded on your website, or deployed to a tablet.

These interactive models can be geo-referenced to real-world coordinates, dynamically linked to databases, and layered with interactive content.

Transform your architectural drawings and 3D models of almost any format (including CAD and BIM) into information-rich applications that are perfect for architectural visualization, and city planning, as well as learning environments, military simulations, historical recreations, training environments and more. Students can interact within a more memorable learning environment, and achieve much greater retention over reading a textbook. All within a web browser or tablet.

Your application can be customized to suit your project’s specific needs. Make it multiplayer with voice and video communication or a single player experience and add non-player characters or an entire crowd of people to bring it to life.

It’s been a while since our last post, but we’ve been hard at work on some new projects we hope to publish soon!  In the meantime, check out our newly renovated website: http://www.archvirtual.com   We’ve made some exciting progress in technologies and methods for bringing architectural and city models into virtual environments, along with interactive features to augment and enhance those models.  We will be posting more about these projects and services soon, so stay tuned!

Here are some pieces from the new website front page:

Architectural Simulation: Import buildings and entire cities into online 3D environments that can be accessed from a browser or embedded directly into your own website.  We use cutting edge game development technology that enables you, your clients, project stakeholders or community members to explore, interact and collaborate within immersive 3D environments that are easily accessible.

Virtual Architecture:  Use virtual environments for long-distance collaboration, education, training, simulation and more.  We create virtual spaces that help organizations achieve greater effectiveness and efficiency for a variety of use cases.  Contact us to learn more about how your organization can make use of virtual environments.

Design Collaboration: Nobody knows how your new building should function and perform better than you.  Being able to witness and participate in the design evolution through interactive workshops, puts you, the end-users of your building, and other project stakeholders in the driver’s seat of the design process.  Instead of waiting weeks to see the results of design changes, see them take shape immediately.  Contact Arch Virtual today to learn more about how we use virtual environments to offer a whole new approach to building design.
