View The Urban Model

 

 

Users should be aware that this is the first version of the Urban Model and that improvements and more information will be available in the coming months. Your feedback will therefore be very important in helping us refine the Urban Model.

 

To view the online model you will require a PC with the appropriate level of memory, graphics capability and internet connection.  Full system requirements are set out below.

 

In addition you will require the latest version of TerraExplorer. This is a piece of free software available from SkylineGlobe.

 

For Apple Mac users: We apologise for being unable to provide access at present.  This is because TerraExplorer software offered the best solution at the time the project started.  A Mac compatible version of the software should be available towards the end of 2007.

Forthcoming Updates

 

With a view to improve the functionality of the online model and the level of information provided, the following additions have been recently introduced.

  • A series of hotspots, to include some of the city’s major attractions, such as The City Chambers, Glasgow’s Cathedral, the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre and Glasgow Science Centre.

  • Listed Buildings (Cat. A, B and C(S)).

  • New Areas of the city at photorealistic detail.

 

The next series of updates are scheduled for end of March 2008 and will look at importing most of the project areas at photorealistic detail.  Changes to the infrastructure of the on-line model to achieve a better performance are currently underway.  We apologies for the lack of any recent updates.
