Virtual Piedmont
CONTACTS |Italiano
The Virtual Piedmont presentation has been made upon request from the Piedmont Regional government, in partnership with the Turin politechnic. It is a multimedia product, presented during the opening congress of the project, held in the central hall of Turin politechnic. A DVD has been made and distributed to participants and the media, containing a video and all the software. The product has been presented in many events and in various fairs by the Piedmont Region. The so-called "symbolic access" showed a prototype of the interface to Virtual Piedmont contents, putting togheter various data sources of many companies and institutions working into the project. Now specification for the huge project are under development. Ultramundum Foundation projects have been used for many sequences and for the virtual esploration of Turin. A detailed virtual model of the ISS (International Space Station) has been created for the spectacular start sequence where, arriving from outer space, the camera crosses the ISS and shows the modules made in Italy (by Alenia aerospace). Like some of the best hollywood sequences, the descent from space to ground in Castello square in Turin does not stop, delivering a complex continuous shooting seen in few high-level movies. There are also examples of e-commerce with digital broadcasting TV, made with UltraPort and our virtual models of the historical center of Turin.
