Welcome aboard - Benvenuti a bordo PART II (a free demo)

Finally we made a small free demo. It's a virtual walk on the main bridge limited to the prow. You can walk only in the area of the two towers of heavy caliber weapons.
We made various versions of the demo, both for Mac e Windows.

Windows version
demoPC800x600.zip (58Mb)
demoPC800x600_3D.zip (stereoscopic) (58Mb)
demoPC_FullScreen.zip (58Mb)
demoPC_FullScreen_3D.zip (stereoscopic) (58Mb)

We tested the demos with a PC with an intel Quad-Core with 8 Gb of Ram and Windows7.
To play the demo unzip the .zip archive in a folder in your computer than double click over the .exe file.

Mac OS version (64bit)
demoMac800x600.zip (65Mb)
demoMac800x600_3D.zip (stereoscopic) (65Mb)
demoMacFullScreen.zip (65MB)
demoMacFullScreen_3D.zip (stereoscopic) (65Mb)

We tested the demos with a Power Mac with 2 x 2.4 Ghz Quad-Core processor and 8 Gb of Ram and Mac OS X 10.6.8.
To play the demo unzip the .zip archive in a folder in your computer than double click over the application file.

Minimum requirements
1 Gb free Ram, 2.4 Ghz processor, openGL compatible graphic card.

We suggest you to try the 800x600 windowed version first.
To view the steresocopic 3D version you need the cyano-magenta glasses (right eye cyano, left eye magenta).

Depending on your system, loading may take a few minutes. So don't worry!

Navigation Controls
Use the mouse to look around and the arrows on the keyboard to move forward, backward, right and left. 
In alternative use the WSAD keys: W-forward, S-backward, A-left, D-right.
To move faster hold down the shift key.
To exit press ESC.

Our tests have been successful. Nevertheless the execution of the programs is at your own risk.


Please give us a feedback.

Welcome aboard - Benvenuti a bordo

We always dreamed of walking on the deck of a World War II battleship, a ship 250 meters long which housed almost 2000 people. A ship that no longer exists if not in the bottom of the sea.
Finally we are proud to show this virtual reality project we are working on: a walk aboard the WWII Italian Battleship “Roma”.

Some years ago we produced “Inferno di fuoco”, a documentary about the sinking of this battleship. For this reason we did an high detailed 3d model of the "Roma". So we decided to utilize this model to make a virtual journey on the ship. 

And now, for the first time after seventy years, it's possible to walk on the deck of the battleship “Roma”.

Actually we are refining all the procedures to make the navigation system work properly and we are finishing up convert all the 3d models and textures that compose the exterior of the ship. It's a lot of work!

The virtual tour can be viewed in stereoscopic 3d which offers an incredible experience. 

This project include only a virtual tour over the main exterior decks. In the future we'd like to extend the journey inside the ship into the major interior locals and decks.
Will follow posts with explanations, news, making of and, why not, a playable free demo. 

Stay tuned!
