Lighting test for Virtual Middletown in Blue Mars
IDIA is developing a virtual living museum in Blue Mars bringing to life the well-known 1920's and 1930's Lynd Study of Middletown America- specifically a simulation of the Ball Glass Factory - incorporating Non-Player Character avatars, bots and our interactive HUD system for navigation and learning.
The mission of the Center for Middletown Studies is to build on the scholarship inaugurated by Robert S. and Helen Merrell Lynd in their landmark studies Middletown (1929) and Middletown in Transition (1937). These in-depth accounts of life in Muncie, Indiana, became classic sociological studies and established the community as a barometer of social trends in the United States.
IDIA is working deeply with the advanced graphics capabilities of the Cryengine in Blue Mars to create a high effect of realism incorporating parallax mapping, detail mapping, volumetric lighting, as well as advanced interactive tools.
