Negotiations are currently underway for other areas of the city.
Urban Simulation Team description with project case studies . 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 windows of the shops and the graffiti on the walls to be legible. Beyond architectural and urban planning applications, the possible uses of the model are endless. Because real-time virtual reality approximates the experience of a building in a manner not feasible until recently, an educator can 'tour' students through a modeled environment with the same freedoms as in the physical world. Virtual reality has taken hold with the classics community because of its applications for the reconstruction of urban spaces or buildings that no longer exist.
