3D Mining Complex Virtual Tour Sponsored

The EUR 20,000 project required to create a 3D virtual tour of Italy’s Porto Flavia and Galleria Henry historic mines, available for viewing on the Web, with audio-visual, interactive contents strategically positioned along the visitors’ paths of the facilities. To optimize over one terabyte of survey data from more than 200 laser scanners and simulate a high quality representation of the structures,  a flexible, robust software platform was required.

 MicroStation was used in order to transform the complex survey data into a few megabyte CAD project, producing 3D textured models while maintaining survey precision and a high level of realism. 

The MicroStation platform provided a modeling solution to integrate 3D reality meshes quickly and precisely, saving time, and ultimately, money. Bentley’s powerful, interoperable tools converted a large amount of complex survey data into 3D textured models, resulting in a high-quality, realistic, interactive simulation, enhancing visualization of the mines and interest in onsite tours.
