Abstract

This project is a byproduct of the analysis done using GIS for the Management of Historic Centers developed as an initiative of the Central American Astronomical Observatory of Suyapa UNAH. The purpose of this product is to show through 3D modeling, interactive virtual reality tours, covering the state of architectural preservation and labeling of the main streets and avenues of the Historic Center of the Central District that also serves to propose and promote educational and tourist projects as well as improvement and development that have within their area of study the historical center of Tegucigalpa and Comayagüela, with a view to contributing to the process of administering them taking into account its historical significance.

3D photorealistic visualization is applied to areas such as architecture, archeology, mapping, civil engineering, medicine among others, and as a tool for research, conservation, management and dissemination of heritage and tourist. Such is the case of models generated in this project, which can be used by technicians and restorers in order to carry out studies, analysis or predictions about future action plans.

Furthermore this model 3D virtual model of the historic center of Tegucigalpa allow the citizen in the street understand the present by comparing the past and know the future of their city.

Key words: Historical Center; Virtual Reality; 3D Model-GIS
