Explore Dundee Waterfront in 2018 Including Interior of the V&A Museum of Design Dundee with New 3D App

An innovative 3D interactive app* allowing users to explore Dundee Central Waterfront in 2018, including the interior of the forthcoming V&A Museum of Design Dundee, has been launched online. Developed in Scotland by Edinburgh-based Luma 3D Interactive, a leading specialist 3D consultancy, the ‘Dundee Waterfront 2018' app, which is free, is at the cutting edge of interactive mobile technologies. The free app provides a detailed insight into how the central Dundee Waterfront could look in 2018 and beyond.

Users can explore the city's new boulevards, view the new Railway Station, explore Slessor Gardens (the new civic space) and take a bird's eye view of the marina, new hotels, leisure, retail, business and residential areas.  The next phase of the app will go live in August, allowing users to point their devices at the V&A Dundee site hoardings to view a fully rendered 3D visualisation of the completed design museum. 

Mike Galloway, Director of City Development at Dundee City Council said: "The 3D app is an astonishing piece of technology that unveils how Dundee Waterfront will look in the future.  We are expecting a surge in tourism and visitor numbers as the waterfront develops, so the app will allow prospective visitors or investors a chance to virtually visit and experience Dundee Waterfront now".
