Mock Prison Riot - 3D Model of the West Virginia Penitentiary

The 3D Model of the West Virginia Penitentiary was developed by Valador, Inc. to support teams participating in the Mock Prison Riot held annually in Moundsville, West Virginia.

The software is available here:

The penitentiary began operation in 1876 and no detailed blueprints of the prison exist. Valador used advanced light detection and ranging (LIDAR) technology to produce detailed maps of the penitentiary training environments and then integrated these maps into PC game engine technology. The resulting 3D Model of the West Virginia Penitentiary allows users to virtually walk around the penitentiary training environments, take measurements, and get a tactical overview of their surroundings. This is all done using an off-the-shelf PC.

Valador unveiled the 3D Model of the West Virginia Penitentiary at the 2009 Mock Prison Riot that took place between May 2nd and 5th. Trainees were excited to use the tool to get detailed information about the environments that they were going to be training in.
