Description: A complete rework of the original programme which was created in 2000 for the Foundatoin of the Hellenic World (FHW) Cave virtual reality system. All models and textures were reworked and rendered using next gen graphics with complex per pixel shaders to emulate the various materials. The city was enhanced with trees, vegetation and expanded to encompass all residential areas from the main harbour to the outer gate. A special crafted crowd simulation system was designed to bring the city alive with Ai controlled virtual charactes. Post process effects were added to bring the desired tone and aesthetic to the production. The walkthrough was enhanced with story driven elemetns and hot spots with user participation enabling the visitors to choose places to visit next. Cinematic rides are created for the introduction, ending and during the walkthrough to effectively show the 3D stereo copabilities of the vr system and dazzle the audiences. This programme is only available for large virtual reality Dome theaters such as the FHW Dome (Tholos).
