According to the news in October 11, after three years of development, the 3D virtual Forbidden City, which cost US $3 million, began to "open up" on the Internet on the 10th day ". This project was developed by IBM using SOA and on-demand computing resources.

3D virtual Forbidden City launched

October 10 is the 83 Anniversary of the Establishment of the Palace Museum. On that day, the 3D virtual world "Forbidden City beyond time and space" jointly developed by the Palace Museum and IBM was officially launched.

According to reports, the virtual Forbidden City has carried out high-resolution and precise 3D modeling of ancient buildings, cultural relics and figures, which can reproduce three-dimensional Palace Museum buildings, cultural relics and figures on the Internet. IBM also works with Chinese historian to simulate the real movements of people at the court of the Ming and Qing Dynasties by Chinese actors. On this basis, it creates various royal scenes, tour guides, and interactive activities.

In addition to recreating the Forbidden City on the Internet in 3D mode, IBM also added interactions, such as chatting with visitors who visit the Forbidden City on the Internet; communicate with online volunteers and staff; Go games, cricket fights, archery, watching the Emperor's royal meals, court paintings, and other activities.

If you want to visit the virtual Forbidden City on the internet, you need to go to the official website beyondspaceandtime.org to download a software of more than 200 megabytes. After installation, you can start to explore the virtual world. The virtual Forbidden City supports Windows, Apple Mac, and Linux computer platforms.

The virtual Forbidden City is another project that IBM uses technology to help Cultural Heritage embrace the Internet. Over the past 10 years, IBM has completed projects such as the Vatican Library, the eternal Egyptian, the National Museum of History and Culture of African Americans, and the Winter Palace.

Ibm soa technology and on-demand creation of the virtual Forbidden City

According to John Tolva, IBM is responsible for this project. The virtual Forbidden City project uses the most advanced SOA model to build solutions and on-demand computing resources.

The virtual Forbidden City project uses a series of customized integration products and services from IBM, including WebSphere Application Server, Advanced ESB, and DB2 databases. The development engine has been improved on GarageGames's Torque game engine, the design, development, and testing of the entire project are based on IBM Rational Software tools.

In terms of the operating platform of the virtual Forbidden City, the IBM Blade Server with Linux can support thousands of concurrent online users.

John Tolva said that the SOA technology adopted by the virtual Forbidden City makes it easier to exchange various types of data with the outside world, and users can freely communicate in the virtual world.
