Meeting Planner

To help promote meetings and conventions in Downtown St. Louis, this site was built to allow organizers to see what kind of events a meeting group might experience. The site uses videos and Google Streetview-style images to virtually walk from the convention center to different downtown attractions.

Since the images needed to be loaded in rapid succession for the walk-through, a custom Javascript program was written to constantly refresh an HTML5 canvas element with content. Each path was photographed in multiple directions and at different times of day, resulting in hundreds of renders. The site also included a isometric 3D map of the city showing popular locations with the ability to pan, zoom and click for a profile image.
