Architectural Endoscopy

As wikipedia said, the architectural endoscopy is an imaging technology that allows realistic views of a scale model.

Our devices for the architectural endoscopy are hybrid systems that use analog and digital equipments to improve the speed and quality without increasing the cost of the visualization.

The aim of the architectural endoscopy is to solve the problems encountered by many people who find the visualization of architectural plans difficult, if not impossible.

The use of endoscopic devices allows to make assessment in real-time of the impact of urban transformations, in relation to the morphology of the urban fabric and the environmental quality of the public open spaces.

Other techniques, based on computer renderings are too slow or difficult to communicate to more than few people at the same time.

A micro video camera or endscope attached to a camera allows for the creation of walkthroughs, allowing the public to share and critique the architect's vision of proposed buildings and cities.

We worked on our architectural endoscopic devices together with the world renowned Urban Simulation Laboratory, directed by Prof. Fausto Curti with the help of Prof. Peter Bosselmann. The laboratory is part of the DiAP department of the Politecnico di Milano, one of the largest departmental research centres in Italy and active in many fields of research and consultancy.

The products developed and currently developing are:

• Bilberry Camera Holder Car
• Currant Gantry

By the end of 2010, we will present a new high definition small micro camera that allows walkthrough inside model at a correct height from the floor. By now we are currently working with video cameras made by Elmo and Toshiba Teli.
