Stunning 3D representations of parts of London

I came across Andy Hudson-Smith's digitally distributed environments web log via City of Sound, written by Dan Hill, who works as a designer for the BBC. (I reviewed City of Sound briefly in Fortnightly Mailing Number 42.) Andy is a researcher at University College London's Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis.  He has made some spectacular 3D  virtual reality representations of parts of London. There are 3 links below to examples of these, and to tempt you use them I have also pulled one of them directly into the continuation of this post. You need Apple Quicktime installed to view them, and the one inside the continuation post will look distorted until you narrow your browser. I could not find a proper index page to the representations, but if you scroll down digitally distributed environments you will find plenty of direct links.

• Soho Square, London
• Covent Garden Market, London
• Paddington Walk, London

From the forecourt of London's Centre Point building. To remove distortion resize your browser. May not function if you are using Internet Explorer, in which case try this link.
