London Underground

Interactive 3D tour of the new Victoria Line infrastructure, systems and trains.

The challenge

The Victoria Line is being upgraded with new trains, Service Control Centre and high-tech infrastructure to securely monitor and control the network. TNA were commissioned to demonstrate the features and facilities of this major investment.

Our solution

To help illustrate the features and facilities of this major investment, TNA modelled (in photo-realistic 3D) every element of the new system to produce a narrated, interactive ‘flying eye’ journey.

We visit the new high security control room, fly along fibre optic cables into equipment cabinets, into tunnels to examine the new communications and signalling systems before entering the carriages and finally, the driver’s cab.

The user may pause at each location to select highlighted equipment for a narrated description of its function and purpose.

A menu allows the user to jump directly to any section of the journey. The program runs either in ‘interactive’ mode, stopping at each significant point for interaction, or ‘continuous’ mode as a multimedia presentation.
