Munich 4D
Metamatix with Support from

Metamatix, a German company specialized in designing sophisticated
interactive 3D applications, was asked by the city of Munich to create
a virtual visit with views of the old town in 1600, 1908 and 2002.

Challenge: Give Users a Chance to Experience
Old Munich
The Munich 4D application had to offer visitors a engaging, virtual
walk through the city of Munich. The presentation needed to be engaging
and portray Munich in a new light by showing the city as it stood
at various points in history. The developers at Metamatix needed
powerful yet accessible tools to build a high-quality presentation
and offer an immersive user experience. In order to create captivating
time-space effects for full immersion, the focus needed to be on
smooth, intuitive navigation – with the end goal of providing
an accurate replica of the city and the ambiance that reigned there
in 1600 and 1908, as well as the present day. These project specifications
required cutting-edge tools with first-rate rendering and the latest
sound and image technologies.
