Unity is a integrated authoring tool for 3D content visualisation capable of producing applications for Windows, Mac, Wii or even the iPhone. Although primarily conceived for the gaming industry, it has great potential for the distribution and experience of virtual content relating to the built environment.

Once the Unity Web-Player has been installed, the arrow keys and cursor can be used to navigate the virtual environment – in this case an early iteration of the Thesis scheme. Please note, this is a proof of concept and not a presentation piece.

More to follow.
