< Return to architecture page                                      the applications   Prologis - Prologis Park - Midpoint. (developed 2008)   Maelstrom has recently completed (April) a totally new project for Prologis, this latest development starts from   a lofted satellite view over the UK which slowly descends down to the featured site based near Birmingham.   During the descent voice over commentary is used to describe the site, its location and proximity to main    access-ways be it road, rail air or sea.	.
		This recent application has been produced on Maelstrom's new 3D engine, a system that took over 9 months   to develop during 2007. New features include; fully articulated vehicles with local suspension system dynamics,   fully skinned characters, stencil buffered accurate real-time shadowing system, real-time PinP video and audio   playback within the VR world, both automated and menu driven access door controls for opening and closing   dock level doors, and fully scripted event system controlling real-time world scenarios.     The software is designed to run like a DVD-Rom - i.e. menu driven, each part of the site is controlled and   accessed from the main menu (pictured above), at the click of a button the user will be taken on a guided tour   of each of the structures located on site, detailed information about each featured structure is given both   audibly and visually. It is also possible for site developers to take prospective tenants on a personal guided tour   by using the 'roam' function, this enables the user to 'walk' where they like and look at whatever they like for as   long as they like - something simply not possible on normal everyday flythrough videos.     The software is to be used as an aid in not only promoting the site but also with leasing individual units to   prospective tenants. The VR program features many detailed areas including; external aspects, internal   offices, internal shed structures, access level bays, high detail vehicles and car parking facilities.
