Intermap’s Real 3D Data Elevates Video Game Development
21 Mai 2024 - 1:30PM
Intermap Technologies (TSX: IMP; OTCQB: ITMSF) (“Intermap” or the
“Company”), a global leader in 3D geospatial products and
intelligence solutions, today announced a contract with one of the
top 5 video game developers to provide custom digital surface
models (DSMs) for the creation of realistic in-game environments.
By leveraging Intermap’s NEXTMap® 3D DSMs, video
game developers can depict terrain as it exists in real life,
enhancing the authenticity of the user experience. The consistency
and accuracy of Intermap’s data reduce the time and effort required
by designers to achieve environments that closely resemble real
life. This efficiency is a critical benefit for game developers,
enabling them to bring new games to the market quickly without
limitations imposed by older, coarser public data sources.
Today’s agreement includes a service to align
Intermap’s data solution with the client’s other reference sources,
such as imagery, resulting in substantial time and cost savings.
This seamless integration underscores the Company’s commitment to
delivering comprehensive solutions tailored to meet the unique
requirements of its clients.
“The demand for high-quality, real data and images
is driving the growth of 3D mapping and modeling in the gaming
industry,” said Patrick A. Blott, Intermap Chairman and CEO. “As
gamers seek increasingly immersive experiences, developers seek to
leverage advanced technologies to create environments and
characters that closely resemble real life. Our expertise in real
3D geospatial data, augmented by our AI/ML-driven application
layers, provides enhanced value extraction and unlocks new realms
of creativity for developers. This contract highlights the pivotal
role of real 3D elevation data in advancing the realism of gaming
environments.”
The addressable market for high-quality, realistic
3D mapping solutions is expanding rapidly, driven by the growing
demand for realism and immersive experiences in video games and
other virtual world applications. The market for 3D mapping and
modeling in games is expected to grow from $5.86 billion in 2023 to
$15.62 billion in 2031 at a CAGR of 13% (source). Intermap’s
solution emphasizes the superiority of real-time reality capture of
actual data over synthetic digital twins, setting a new standard
for gaming realism. By providing unparalleled accuracy and detail,
the Company enables video game developers to create experiences
that exceed user expectations for lifelike worlds.
