What you can do today

Everything below is in the game now. The keys are for a computer; on a phone the same things have buttons.

Central Brno from above: streets, roofs and courtyards in blocks, reaching to the horizon

The real city

Streets, buildings, trees, parks and rivers are where they are in Brno, as far as you can see. Roads have their real width, and street lamps stand along them.

Walk in and around

Walk, run with Shift, jump with Space, or fly with F. Doors are open: walk into buildings through them.

The world map over Brno with the player's arrow

World map

Press M or the Map button to see where you are and what has been built. Click a place to go there. The link always holds your position, so you can send someone a place.

A small plane flying over the roofs of Brno

Planes

Press P for a plane. Take off from a road or the airport, fly over the city and land again. In the air you see 5 to 10 km, the far land drawn in less detail and fading into haze.

A red car driving down a street, seen from behind

Cars

Press V for a car on the nearest road. It has suspension, steering and a handbrake; drive from behind it or from the driver's seat.

Day and night

The sun stands where it stands now over Brno. Sunsets colour the sky, windows light up, lamps glow, and the stars and moon come out. The Time panel lets you pick an hour or run time 60 or 1000 times faster.

Later

Anywhere on Earth

Pick any place on the map and have it built for you then and there, not only the Brno region.

Questions

Which places can I visit?

The Brno region in the Czech Republic: a square of about 59 by 59 km around the city. The world map shows the area in blue. More places will follow.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no payment and no account. A way to support the project with a donation is planned (soon).

Where does the world come from?

From open data: buildings, roads, trees and land use from OpenStreetMap and the Overture Maps Foundation, ground heights from open elevation models, and land cover from ESA WorldCover. The program Arnis turns that data into blocks. Mistakes in the map show up as mistakes in the world.

What do I need?

A recent browser with WebGL 2: Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, on a computer, phone or tablet. A computer with a mouse and keyboard gives the most control.

Can I share a place?

Yes. The address in the game holds your position (and the time of day if you changed it). Copy it and send it; whoever opens it starts where you are.
