Virtual Schönbrunn
Ars Electronica Futurelab (A)
The use of ultra-high-definition digital technologies ranging from laser point measurement to meticulously produced photographic material make these incredibly detailed visualizations possible. Visitors can examine the Million Room’s miniatures right up close in larger-than-life-size, take in a view of the Habichtsburg, the Habsburg family seat, in the Rosa Room, and experience scenes from an 18th-century royal wedding in the Ceremonial Hall.
For the graphic depictions, FutureLab staffers developed highly advanced 3D software and utilized the latest techniques in the field of real-time computer graphics like Pixelshader. The resulting reproductions of the great artistry and craftsmanship exhibited by the superb décor of these rooms are accurate down to the finest detail and represent a world-class achievement in the field of computer visualization. In addition to opening up new approaches to the digital conservation of irreplaceable cultural treasures, this method of 3D simulation also provides the Schönbrunn Palace Society with an interesting and effective means of international promotion.
