Think City

Using 3D scanning, virtual tour technology and documentary film to create site interpretation for the Syed Al Attas Mansion in UNESCO listed Georgetown, Malaysia

Urban placemaking institute in Malaysia, Think City, engaged Maitree to produce a 3D Virtual Tour of a recent historical building restoration they had completed in the heart of UNESCO World Heritage Listed Georgetown in Penang.

Maitree captured the beautifully restored building with the Matterport Pro 3D camera technology to produce a 3D virtual tour for people unable to visit the building in Penang. We also produced a short documentary on the story of the building dating back to the 1860s when it was built by a wealthy Achehnese pepper trader Syed Muhammad Al-Attas.
