Luna Tech Designs Develops Plymouth Ice Festival 3D Virtual Globe



Plymouth-based Luna Tech Designs announced this week an interactive virtual globe for this year's Plymouth Ice Festival.

The virtual globe application, or LunaGlobe, immerses visitors on the Plymouth Ice Festival Web site in a 3-D virtual version of the ice festival, giving them interactive opportunities to explore and discover the festival events, avoid likely parking and traffic problems, know where to find those irresistible roasted almonds, as well as locate participating shops and restaurants in the area.

Take a look at www.3DPlymouth.com.

"The LunaGlobe 3-D environment is a perfect platform to allow people to learn more about where they are headed before they attend special events like this," said Luna Tech Designs vice president Dan Vega. "Landmark buildings and other structures leap off the landscape, and help people navigate in the most intuitive way possible. This is first of many future events that will benefit from this technology.”

Luna Tech Designs was founded in 2008 and is partnered with the Central Michigan University Research Corp., a designated Michigan SmartZone business incubator.  Luna Tech provides businesses, communities and other organizations an exciting 3-D virtual globe platform, or LunaGlobe, to bring online searches into the next dimension, in a convenient, intuitive and useful way.
