A 3 Gig Tour

August 16th, 2010

One of the most popular e-mail requests for interested Kitchen Inc users is “when can I come see the kitchens?” It’s also one of the more frequent requests I get from my friends and family as of late too. While I can post endless descriptions to the website or add pictures to our Facebook albums, nothing is going to substitute for an actual visual of the space.
I decided to host the Open Kitchen series to provide that to the community but of course, we can’t always have tours once people are actually working in the kitchens. Thus, we’re working to create a 3D Virtual Tour of the entire Kitchen Inc space!
Our 3D model is accurate in every detail, right down to the brand names of the equipment. The tour will allow anyone to virtually walk-through the Café, kitchens and all shared areas, right from the comfort of their home computer. It will also allow us to model events and other potential uses of the space. Interested in arranging seating and staff for a Pop-Up restaurant? No problem. We can model it all, right in 3D!
As you may have noticed, we’re very fond of using technology to improve access to Kitchen Inc and make our clients’ lives easier. Applications, Reservations and now touring the site…it can all be done online and it’s all happening *very* soon!

My awesome resident engineer and designer at MatadorMoto has been working on the model for a few weeks now and it is nearly ready to launch. Naturally, we’ll send out a proud newsletter announcing the final launch. For now, here are a few teaser screenshots to whet your appetites:

As a side note, our model is probably more than 3 Gig and definitely took more than 3 hours to build, but we wanted to get another song in everyone’s head.
