Building GIS Online Asset Inventory Solution

We designed and developed an online GIS Asset Inventory Platform for the Ministry of Culture, Jeddah Historical Department. The platform was designed to visualize all the geographic and UAS scanning outputs for different stakeholders.

The platform is designed to visualize a complete 3D mass model of the entire Al Balad historical area, where the user can click on any building to retrieve different geographic and descriptive information. We also added a complete visual reporting engine to spontaneously filter the model based on land use, building condition, and ownership type.

The platform includes visualizing the 3D point cloud using the Potree plugin that enables users to take and export measurements and cross-sections of the model to better understand the urban fabrics. Cross-sections and measurements can be exported as point clouds or comma separated value files.

Saudi Virtual Museum

We believe in the importance of virtual reality applications in the field of awareness, training, tourist attraction, cultural development, and the preservation of tangible and immaterial heritage. Utilizing the advanced technological capabilities made available to us through our presence within the Innovation Complex at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology we work to preserve heritage through the use of drones and laser scanners for 2D and 3D modeling.

We are developing the Saudi Virtual Reality Platform and making it available in many different languages. The Saudi Virtual Reality Platform project is an advanced interactive technology application that provides interesting cultural information on the Kingdom's tourist and cultural attractions in an interactive and attractive way. The project objectives are in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and its three levels of strategic objectives, as follows:

Promoting Islamic Values and National Identity
Strengthening the National Identity
Preserving and Publicizing the Kingdom's Islamic, Arab and National Heritage
Serving More Pilgrims to the Fullest
Enriching the Religious and Cultural Experience of Pilgrims
Facilitating Hosting More Pilgrims
Facilitating Access to the Two Holy Mosques
Economic Development and Diversification
Unlocking the Capabilities of Promising Non-Oil Sectors
Digital Economy Development
