Virtual walks & tours through historic sites

Virtual walks and tours in 3D

Using Microsofts Photosynth technology we were abe able to able to show digital or virtual walks through many historic sites in Nepal. Sadly Microsoft shuttered their software and alternative technology is being looked at.

Using this method we can very easily show what an entire location looked like should it ever be destroyed or damaged. It also works as a great primer for tourism.

Photosynths are different from video in that we have full control over where we want to look on the walk. Likewise, pending photo resolution, we can also zoom right into an object.

With Photosynths we can also label certain monuments, shrines of buildings of importance. This provides outstanding educational benefits to people viewing them. It also enables us to link to more technical 3D replicas furthering the experience.

Photosynths are quite easy to create and we’d like to encourage people to share their Synths of Nepal here. If you have a Synth or have the photographs for a Synth then please get in touch with us.
