The team has completed models of various Los Angeles regions including Downtown, the Pico Union district, Mid-Wilshire, Westwood, UCLA, Santa Monica, Hollywood, MacArthur Park, Playa Vista, and a portion of South Central.
Negotiations are currently underway for other areas of the city.
The Downtown portion of the model has been under construction for four years and currently covers over 100 city blocks. The computer file for this one area of Los Angeles is over 200 megabytes in size, including the geometry and over 3,000 individual texture maps. When completed, the entire Virtual Los Angeles model will cover an area well in excess of 10,000 square miles and will elegantly scale from satellite images to street level views accurate enough to allow the signs in the shop windows and the graffiti on the walls to be legible. Beyond urban planning applications, the possible uses of the model are endless.
