White House Aerial Photo
with new building simulation from 420ft.

With FAA waivers and Homeland Security support, DDIS is able to provide low altitude high resolution views of prime Washington DC landmarks. Our client on this project wanted a aerial perspective to portray his site's physical proximity and 'access' to the White House. Architecture visualization by LD.

Virtual San Francisco

Developers and architects have long recognized that a "million dollar view" is usually floor specific. As these San Francisco samples show, the best views occur between 280 and 330 feet.

Observation Deck Views from the
Proposed World Trade Center Replacement, NYC.

The DDIS team's historic flights above the World Trade Center site on June 21st 2005 allowed DDIS's proprietary 360 degree cameras to reach 1400 feet above Ground Zero. The tethered aerostat flights allowed us to reach our goal of showing floor-by-floor views to the designers/developers long before the proposed building is built. This allows developers to more accurately price units and accelerate sales.

Virtual Panoramas

In collaboration with Dbox, DDIS contributed time lapse panoramas that show potential residents the NYC views possible from this 38th street mid town site. These images were generated by DDIS proprietary mast mounted cameras and displayed with Panoweaver's virtual reality software.

URS Greiner's Michigan Office

DDIS teamed with URS Greiner's Michigan Office to compete in the Bethesda Chevy Chase High School Master Plan/Expansion. Preliminary 'massing models' were design and animated to communicate the complex staging this 15 building campus had to negotiate while school was in session.

Visual Analysis Tools

DDIS's aerials serve as a foundation for important text and graphic analysis that our landscape and architecture staff add. This sample shows the combination between zoning data, floor plan information and view shed images developed to help the client design and market a particular site.
