A skyline view from Baltimore Orioles' new "Virtual Birdland" technology

“Virtual Birdland” is a new technology implemented by the Baltimore Orioles to give fans an all-encompassing look and feel of Oriole Park at Camden Yards, as well as surrounding areas of interest.  The new tech is referred to as virtual 3-D geospatial visualization brought about by Harris Corporation using 3-D flyover videos to capture the goings on at Camden Yards.

The videos provide visitors with realistic views of the ballpark and surrounding areas, which are visited annually by millions of fans. The 3-D videos allow anyone with a computer and Internet connection to ‘virtually’ fly over the park, adjacent parking lots, entrance roadways, and the nearby Inner Harbor. “Virtual Birdland provides Orioles fans with a clear view of what they will see prior to arriving at Oriole Park, and helps familiarize them with traffic patterns, ample parking options, and other area attractions surrounding the ballpark,” said Greg Bader, Orioles Director of Communications.
