The project is intended to give users the opportunity to experience how time and the elements can drastically change our surroundings over an extended period of time. Using the simulation, the user can make decades of centuries pass in a matter of seconds. The simulation will be driven by the Unreal Engine game engine software. Unreal Engine is used to produce many of today‘s most popular games, including Epic Games‘ own „Fortnite“.
„The EPIC MegaGrant is a great validation of EFLA‘s vision and work in terms of real-time visualization and how we see the future development of this field in our business. It will be really interesting to see the users‘ reactions to our world when they can experience geological events in human-scale time. It is a great honour to receive this grant and we look forward to working with Epic Games on this project. Epic is very selective when it comes to awarding these grants.“ says Throstur Thor Bragason, a 3-D artist and Medialogist at EFLA.
