3D modeling & Virtual Design

 * CAD designs (domes, tents, yurts, hobbit homes, green-structures, infrastructure, etc.) can be used in combination with satellite imagery and terrain data to create immersive 3D virtual-village geo-models; also usable in on-site, augmented reality applications.
 * Ongoing, immersive 3D 'Sim City' style design process, eventually integrated with augmented reality glasses for practical, cultural and entertainment purposes.
