Description
Middlesbrough Council is seeking quotations to appoint a suitable consultant to create a 3D interactive 'walk through' of Steve Waller's Middlehaven model to allow users to experience an immersive virtual visit through the neighbourhood as was.
The consultant will be required to bring to life the Middlehaven model utilising a range of digital visual and audio techniques to support the reimagining of the Old Town Hall (OTH) in Middlehaven.
The Grade II asset is to be transformed into a high-quality office venue for the expanding Digital and Creative sector in Middlesbrough and the model will be used as a key engagement tool for the wider public.
This invitation is to submit an inclusive fee to reflect the work required for delivering a high quality, immersive 'walk through' of the neighbourhood as was. The 3D digitalisation will create accessibility to the model and bring to life a period of the town's social and cultural history allowing users to take a digitally immersive walk back in time.
