A 1:1 Virtual Counterpart for Urban Operations

In 2024, MVRsimulation built a geospecific, high-resolution inset of Tampa, Florida, to virtually replicate a live Special Forces Operations training exercise that occurred there during SOF Week in 2022. The project required creating a detailed virtual representation of Tampa Bay, which included geospecific models of the Tampa Convention Center, the shoreline, and a permanently moored yacht.

To rapidly create the database for this event, the terrain team started with an existing VRSG Tampa dataset built with 1-meter NAIP imagery. Using CyberCity 3D models textured with CityEngine, and over 32,000 procedural buildings were generated based on building footprints. The road infrastructure was then added by integrating road vectors from OpenStreetMap, allowing for a comprehensive and quickly-developed virtual environment.
