Researchers at the IMAGINE Lab in the Center for Geographic Information Systems (CGIS) at the Georgia Institute of Technology produced 3D models and animations for the Georgia World Congress Center Authority (GWCCA) to visualize the authority's current facilities as well as its vision for 2020. The animations are featured on the front of the GWCCA website https://www.gwcca.org/ as the base for their interactive campus map. The models were produced with the aid of the City of Atlanta's most recent aerial laser scans (LiDAR) for reference. The IMAGINE Lab’s 3D model library of the Georgia Tech campus, Midtown Atlanta, Downtown Atlanta, and Peachtree Street were included in the renderings to situate the GWCCA campus within the fabric of Atlanta's core.
To view the animations, click on any of the colored, circular icons (Centennial Park, World Congress Center, Georgia Dome) on the GWCCA's homepage.
