Paul McCartney is in the middle of his brief 'On The Run' tour, performing in various North American stadiums to huge crowds.
In a few days (this Sunday and Monday) he'll be playing in Chicago's Wrigley Field, and concept3D has built a really neat tool to help show you what the view will look like from your seat.
It reminds me a bit of Room77, which allows you to preview your hotel room in Google Earth. As Google Earth continues to become more realistic, especially with 3D buildings and trees, tools like these will likely become more common and more useful.
One of the best parts of this Wrigley/McCartney model is the drop-down menu in the KMZ file itself. If you expand (+) the folder once it's loaded in your 'Places' sidebar, you can click the section where you'll be sitting and the camera will automatically fly around to show you what your view will look like from that section. You can get the KMZ file here
, but be warned that it's quite a large file at around 10MB.
If you don't wish to load the full file, concept3d has created a short video to show you around the model:
We've shown you some of concept3d's work in the past, including the excellent 3D Virtual Campus at Northeastern University. They're a custom Google Earth modeling shop, and certainly a good one to contact if you need some 3D work done for a project.
I hope to see more of this kind of work done for various events in the future, as it's a grea way to preview what kind of view you'll have from your seats.
