We turned DTVC's science park into a 3D map anyone can explore in a browser. 21 tenants and research centers, each one findable in seconds.
SABIC, SLB, Baker Hughes, Honeywell, Halliburton and thirteen more companies run R&D centers here, alongside KFUPM's own research institutes. That density is DTV's pitch, and a brochure flattens it: no sense of who sits next to whom, how big each campus is, or where anyone actually is.
We rebuilt the valley as a real-time 3D model of its roads, plots and buildings, seen from an architect's isometric angle. Each logo floats over its own roof, so the overview explains itself.
Point at a building and everything that tenant occupies lights up in its own brand colour. SABIC's Technology & Innovation Center is spread over several lots. On the map it reads as one.
