Questions
The CityEngine VR Experience is a complete solution for easily creating a premium VR application to explore your 3D city models and urban planning scenarios. It builds on a combination of ArcGIS CityEngine, which is used for data integration, 3D modeling and scenario development, and Epic Games UnrealEngine, which then renders the scene in real-time, controls the VR headset and its controllers, and allows for collaborative studies using multiple headsets over the network. The experience comes as a ready-to-use and extensible Unreal Engine project template, from which CityEngine scenes can be easily imported, configured and viewed. The project template can be easily customized (Blueprints & C++) for specific needs.
