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. (German website: www.muenchen4d.de)


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.


Solution: Dev's Smooth Navigation and Powerful Rendering Capabilities

The Virtools toolset provided the ideal solution, thanks to the development environment's compatibility with modelling software and external third-party technologies.
