The 3D-modeling software shaping Singapore's future is straight out of a sci-fi film

When you envision three-dimensional city models that you can navigate, explore and alter in virtual reality, there's a good chance the first thing that comes to mind is a video game, or a sci-fi movie that takes place many years in the future. These technologies are hardly far-fetched, however. Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform, for example, is just such an innovative tool. The technology influences how urban planners, architects and government officials plan for the future. Singapore is one of the forward-thinking cities using the technology in innovative ways.
