Using 3D Visualization Technology to Build a Sales Preview Center and Boost New Texas Rangers Ball Park Inventory Sales
|
|
The Texas Rangers Baseball Club took on an enormous challenge in planning the construction
of their new ballpark, Globe Life Field. The ambitious project, with an estimated cost of over one billion dollars, aspires to become the topv enue in Major League Baseball. Globe Life field is expected to open for the 2020 season.
The ballpark, with a capacity of approximately 40,000 spectators and a contiguous entertainment district, presented a series of challenges that highlighted the importance of having all available tools to visualize the project in multiple dimensions. A project of this magnitude presents many challenges that the 3D Digital Venue team had to take into account. First of all, the information had to be filtered in order to move from the architectural model to the 3D model in virtual reality. This was a laborious step, due to the enormous amount of data received, not only from the Venue and the VIP spaces but from all the adjacent spaces to the building that presented a very high complexity.
