Virtual City of Sarajevo

This project represents interactive 3D model of old part of the city.

Old part of Sarajevo is very attractive location with many cultural monuments. Project Virtual city of Sarajevo is consisted of creation of computer model of this part of city, and visitor is enabled to have a virtual tour through this city.

During this virtual tour visitor is offered information on certain locations and monuments (when they were build, what is their use etc.)
