英國小鎮建"3D"街道 逛街如行走未來世界
According to the Daily Mail of October 12, fake facades have been put up in 18 shops in Britain's Redcar street, along with one "virtual" house.
Shoppers are getting a vision of the future in one town and are walking in a "virtual" world.
Shops such as the British Heart Foundation, Greggs, KFC and menswear store Greenwoods have been joined by the simulations, which aim to attract business investment to the area.
The images disguise parts of the street, giving the impression units are occupied, which otherwise would be riddled with boards and shutters.
There is a virtual restaurant, cafe, furniture, bookshop, gift shop, two fashion stores, electrical goods and accessories shop to fill the gaps as the recession continues to bite.
The seaside town has been hit hard by the downturn and the loss of 1,600 jobs at the Corus steelworks was a major blow, but council bosses hope to improve the look of the town's high street and attract new businesses through the use of the clever images.
據《每日郵報》10月12日報道，18個虛擬商店的假門面出現在英國雷德卡街上，和這些虛擬商店在一起的還有一個虛擬房屋。
購物者可以走進一個通往未來的城鎮，在虛擬的世界中行走。
英國心臟基金會、格雷戈斯、肯德基和格林伍德男裝店等品牌都呈現在這一組虛擬的街道中。這些虛擬商店的設立是未來吸引更多資金用來建設本地區。
這些圖像用來僞裝成街道的一部分，給人街道已被建築物填滿的視覺感受，否則這些地方只是用百葉窗和木板遮擋住。
另外還有一個虛擬餐館、咖啡店、傢俱店、書店、禮品店、兩個時裝店、電器店和配件商店來裝點虛擬街道，填補因經濟繼續衰退帶來的街道“空白”。
經濟衰退給這個海邊小鎮帶來沉重打擊，Corus鋼鐵廠被收購導致小鎮喪失1600多個就業機會也給小鎮帶來重創。當地商人希望通過改變小鎮大街的形象這種吸引眼球的方式來開發更多的商業領域。
