Like so many of the innovations housed in LondonвЂ™s British Museum, virtual reality pairs human imagination with the best technological tools available to a generation.

On the horizon: a possible VR experience that shows a new, non-invasive way for humans to measure and map the surface area of coral reefs. After experiencing it, the bridgeвЂ™s designer told us he has renewed inspiration to bring the project to fruition.ДЇor our client Lenovo, this Horizon-designed experience created a вЂњwowвЂќ factor - and gave the audience an unforgettable look at how powerful computers enable some of the wordвЂ™s most incredible next-generation technologies.Д«ecause it was such a success, Lenovo has asked us to start brainstorming VR projects that will bring to life other revolutionary ideas. Our immersive VR experience was the hit of the NXTBLD conference. The sectors have a ceiling height of 256, the platforms have a floor of 0 and the nukage pool has a floor of -128. In your level editor of choice, make two platforms and an obstacle in between in this example a nukage pool is used. However, you can make working bridges in ZDoom by using InvisibleBridge and a few linedef tricks. We also allowed them to 3D print their own metal sculptures within the environment by turning one of their controllers into MX3D's robot arm. Due to Doom's (and thus ZDoom's) rendering engine limitations, true 3D cannot really be made unless you want to use 3D floors. Conference visitors were able to don a VR headset, walk across this bridge, and explore it from every angle, including those (like underneath), that theyвЂ™re unlikely ever to see when the real 3D-printed bridge is completed. Using the Unreal Engine developed by Cary-based Epic Games, our team created a virtual Amsterdam canal, complete with the 3D printed bridge as it will appear when itвЂ™s completed. The challenge for Horizon? That bridge isnвЂ™t done yet. This is exactly what Dutch firm MX3D is doing, using Lenovo computing power and a robot that can print metals in any size or shape вЂ“ in open space. In fact, many of these technologies are so forward-thinking that they exist only in their infancy вЂ“ and thatвЂ™s where Horizon's Virtual Reality expertise filled the gap.ДЇor example, imagine a footbridge that has been 3D printed вЂ“ in mid air вЂ“ across a canal in Amsterdam. Lenovo sponsored an event, the NXT BLD (Next Build) conference, to showcase the worldвЂ™s most extraordinary new technologies in the field of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC). In June, it was also the setting for Horizon and our client Lenovo to unveil what may be one of the modern era's coolest innovations: virtual reality. In the Bloomsbury area of London sits the British Museum вЂ“ home to one of the worldвЂ™s greatest collections of art, history and culture: a testament to human innovation.
