Meeting the UK’s bold target of an 80% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 will require widespread changes in the way that we generate and use electricity. Milton Keynes – and Virtual Viewing – is at the forefront of some of these exciting and innovative changes.
Through the MKSmart2020 partnership, we are working with E.ON Central Networks, the University Centre Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes Partnership, Milton Keynes Council, the Open University and Cranfield University to help Milton Keynes through an evolution of the way that we all use energy. This will include SmartGrids, electric vehicles, ground heat sources, intelligent appliances, and integrated energy generation systems (wind farms, solar panels, advanced recycling plants) – and all of this work is being undertaken in conjunction with Milton Keynes Council’s Low Carbon Living Programme.

Northampton University has recently expanded its Portfolio Innovation Centre, based at the University’s Avenue Campus. Now trebled in size to a three-storey building, the centre offers working space and networking opportunities to some of the region’s most exciting creative, digital and design companies – a industry sector that over £600 million into the region’s economy ever year.
After launching our 3D City Modelling capability at the MIPIM 2010 Conference and Exhibition in Cannes in March, Virtual Viewing has recently been invited to participate in a second pan-European event to demonstrate both our technical expertise and our understanding of – and strength of service in – the broader aspects of urban design, city planning and place-making. The
Encouraged by the extremely positive feedback received after working across Europe and the UK with local authorities, city planners and investment developers hungry for a 3d modelling solution, Virtual Viewing exhibited its own groundbreaking, innovative and extremely cost effective 3d technology at the largest property show in Europe; MIPIM 2010, in March this year.
We’ve been developing our portfolio of 3d virtual city and architectural modelling solutions for several years now, but now we’re taking the time to train the spotlight not on a fully rendered city centre or a pioneering architectural development … but on ourselves. This March, we are taking the opportunity to put ourselves on the international stage and show that we are ready to take our place amongst the very best in the industry.
While many organisations now recognise the potential power of 3d modelling to make presentations of architectural or building projects compelling, many overlook the potential to embed animated 3d flythroughs into presentations outside of the web arena.
