A Virtual Forbidden City?

The Forbidden City: Beyond Space & Time

An exact replica of the 178-acre Forbidden City

It has been over three years in the making and cost over $3 million, provided by IBM as part of a community programme.

To recreate every building and thousands of major artifacts.

A fully immersive, three-dimensional virtual world that recreates a visceral sense of space and time of this Chinese cultural treasure.

IBM's BladeCenters with Linux Blade Servers are at the heart of this virtual world.
