3d Hong Kong

Overview of the 3D map done by Edoshi.

Being an architecture student, I am always intrigued by the different ways people use to represent their city. This is a project from Hong Kong that I was really impressed by. You can think of it as Sim City Hong Kong if you would like. Now, wouldn't it be great if you could point to the places in there and then a real time picture of the area pops up? Technology has certainly made the world smaller. You don't have to be at a place physically to know and experience it. My guess however, is that if you google earth Hong Kong and point to the same place, I doubt it would look as orderly and pristine as it does in the simulation. Nevertheless, it's worth checking out here. Though it's just a graphical representation, you can navigate the area, zoom in zoom out, find out information about different buildings, bus services in that area, etc. It's not just decorative. It IS a virtual map of the area. Have fun playing around!

Blown away by the level of intricate details rendered.

Check out the reflection at the side of the building! WAH!
