Holographic Presentations – Making Business Meetings More Interesting



How many times have you snoozed during a business meeting? Don’t worry, you are not alone. Each and every one of us dozes off in a meeting since they are so boring with their facts, figures, and PowerPoint presentations. But things are changing, and the change is looking good with Holographic Presentations. With the recent technological innovations, it would not be wrong to assume that soon all the presentations In the future will be in 3-D, in fact, they would all be Holographic. Just imagine how cool it would be when you walk up in front of your colleagues in your conference room and start presenting your Holographic presentation.



But the best part about Holographic presentation is that the presenter doesn’t even need to there in the meeting, since they can include themselves in the presentation as a Hologram. Not only will it help to make presentations more interesting, it would help companies cut their cost since nobody needs to physically travel to a place to give presentations. With Holographic presentations, it is even possible to present the same presentations simultaneously at many places since the presenter doesn’t need to be physically present at a particular place. Students can also benefit from it since their professors can send them a Holographic presentation of a lecture, which they can learn at home.

Holographic presentations will play a huge role in architectural presentations since they developer of the presentation will be able to develop a holographic model of a structure under construction. Not only will the Holographic presentation give a very clear picture of the completed structure, it will also help the presenter to present a detailed view of the structure to the viewers and attendees of the meeting. By using Holographic Projection Technologies, Virtual Reality and Spectral Imaging, architects and civil engineers will be able to easily map out every inch of the project and the same Holographic model will also help them to identify any weaknesses in the structure long before the actual construction work beings and ends. With Holographic presentations, the sky really is the limit when it comes to architecture and architectural visualization.

3D Photorealistic Rendering – Breathe Life into Pictures



3D Photorealistic rendering, as the name implies, in a process where photographs of specific objects or people are digitally enhanced to add a third dimension to them. Essentially, what it means is that normally a photograph only has two dimension, and by using various software and techniques, a digital artist adds a third dimension to the photographs as to bring them to life, or closer to reality. Normally, 3d photorealistic rendering are commonly used in the architecture industry since architects and civil engineers need to plan out the construction in advance and they need to present a model of the final product before the product is completed.

But there is another dimension to 3d photorealistic rendering. And this dimension not only involves adding the third dimension, it involves creating an entire picture by using digital tools. The final product might look like a photograph taken with a camera, but in reality, the entire image was created using a combination of software. This niche is believed to be a technological extension of photorealism. Traditional photorealism was about painting a subject in a way that it looks like a real photograph. This art gained prominence in the late ‘60s with the help of the United States art movement.

The main reason why this form of art was applauded was because photographs were slowly replacing paintings since cameras are better at capturing a moment than a painter. Nowadays, photorealistic 3d images are easily rendered by using software and computer programs and are the used for various purposes. This technique has allowed architects, civil engineers, and digital artists more freedom since they are now not limited to a photograph, but can come up with creative interpretations of what they think the final outcome should look like.

The only thing artists and other people responsible for creating photorealistic 3d rendering is required to do now is to study nature and let their imagination run wild. But the most important part of this art is paying attention to detail as it is the details that makes a 3d photorealistic rendering truly fantastic, especially the lighting, the textures, the form and structure.

How 3D Architectural Animation Helps Projects Shine



3D architectural animation paints a virtual picture of a project that’s currently under construction or renovation. The animation goes a long way in expressing and explaining various salient features of the project and its surroundings. It provides the viewer with a near-to-life experience about how living in or doing business in the newly-constructed building would be like. It would not be wrong to say that 3D architectural animation is a very concise version of a movie, where the hero is the project. The animation mostly highlights the projectionists, construction site, location of the project, people etc. all of which are digitally created all through the animators imagination and creativity with the help of facts about the project.

3D architectural animation differs from an architectural rendering in the sense that it has more than just one image shown from a single point of view.Instead, 3D architectural animation uses still images and puts them seamlessly together to form an animation, which plays like a movie on screen. From the structures, to the landscape, from the surrounding to the minor details, each and every image is created digitally from scratch to enhance the value of the concerned project. This animation is, as of now, the most effective way to market and advertise a construction project as it gives a realistic view of the things to come in the future.

Another added advantage of 3D architectural animation is its user-friendliness.It gives the viewer a clear idea about the project and displays all the features of the project, and also highlights their benefits. Besides giving a completely authentic view of the un-finished project,3D architectural animation also provides a 3D architectural walkthrough of the entire project so buyers can familiarize themselves with their purchase.

With the latest innovations in technology, many new software have been introduced to help the designers present their visualization in a more professional, yet simple and legible manner.

Real Estate and land developers rely heavily on 3D architectural animation to showcase their projects. So it becomes more important that the team responsible for creating the 3D architectural animation investsall their efforts and combines imaginative qualities to make the project shine.

Live Presenter
Harmony in Motion. Our intricate understanding of broadcast media allows us to bring about solutions to existing problems. Sometimes this means stretching the barriers and coming up with completely unorthodox solutions. Live Presenter is one such solution that allows us to composite real people onto computer generated backgrounds. Using this technology, we have taken architectural visualization to an entirely new level by recording actual crowds of people and inculcating them into our virtual walkthroughs, giving that extra feel of reality that had been missing for a long time in the industry.

Combining Real Footage with 3D Graphics
Experience the best of both worlds. Our expertise in computer graphics allows us to take real world footage and combine it with computer generated graphics. Imagine being able to insert an artificially created architecture into real footage with physically correct lighting conditions. The possibilities of such a combination of elements are endless.
Why look at a typical two dimensional floor plan when you can gain more perspective looking at one in 3D. 3D floor plans contain all the information a 2D floor plan has, and adds height to it.
