WESTOVER AIR RESERVE BASE,Mass. --
The Patriot Wing has long been a leader in Air Force
excellence, but with the debut of its 3-D virtual C-5 tour the base is ahead of
its time.
“There
are very few systems like this, which creates an intensely realistic experience
for the viewer of actually walking through a C-5 and looking around,” said Tony
Healy, the owner of Capture, a visual marketing firm that specializes in
producing 3-D virtual tours of real estate properties. “I’ve done a mega yacht
before, but this is the first I’ve ever heard of an aircraft being processed by
the system.”
Healy
and his assistant, David DalNegro, took a total of eight hours to plot out
every square inch of the C-5. They positioned a square camera with multiple
lenses at points separated by a few feet, and after clearing the area, the
camera would remotely complete a 360-degree spin capturing images in a near
180-degree angle.
“Think
of Google map’s virtual feature on steroids,” Healy said.
