The data will then be processed in order to create a product for virtual navigation with immersive viewers. p>

QUIRINALE 3D VR has been presented at the press conference on the new communication of the Quirinale. During the presentation, a practical demonstration of the software potentialities has taken place through workstations specially fitted out and equipped with Oculus Rift for immersive mode use.

October 5, 2016, 2.15 p.m. - Auditorium of the National Central Library of Rome The workshop "BIM in Civil Engineering supported by laser scanner and digital models animations" will be held in the course of the session entitled "3D models for infrastructures and BIM". During this workshop, Geocart will present the design and management integrated methodology, composed of a central core based on study and engineering of the technical solution in BIM optical. The latter incorporates a preliminary level based on the plano-altimetric characterization of the territory on which the works are inserted or on the survey of existing buildings and a final level linked to the graphic elaboration of the project through rendering, high-definition 3D animations and digital visual effects.
