"Selfrunning Software Access for the Exploration of Virtually Reconstructed Synagogues";
in: "Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Construction Applications of Virtual Reality 2011", herausgegeben von: Bauhaus-Universität Weimar; Bauhaus Universitätsverlag, Weimar, 2011, ISBN: 978-3-86068-458-0, S. 90 - 99.

This contribution focuses on the so-called "Virtual Building Explorer (VBE)", an adapted game-engine, which is now being used for communicating architectural information as it provides an interactive display of 3D scenes. The paper discusses the handling of this software and the creation of self-running applications. It also offers a comparison with other applications with a similar 3D visualisation performance profile. The aim is to test suitability of the software packages for establishing 3D walkthrough models of sacred buildings, based on existing 3D models of destroyed Viennese synagogues. The paper explores and explains the conditions for data conversion and any follow-up uses. While certain restrictions exist, potential benefits for the virtual reconstruction context can be identified.
