Statement of Qualifications

 
  CAJA provides visual and simulation studies for aesthetic and visual impact evaluation. Simulations produced by CAJA run the full gamut from simple photo composites to real-time 3D models. CAJA strives for the highest level of accuracy for its computer-generated visualization products, using advanced techniques such as metric photogrammetry and 3D theodolite angle intersection methodologies. Data are processed using state-of-the-art computer techniques into high-quality deliverables that allow decision makers to understand the visual impacts of a project and conduct "what if" analyses of proposed alternatives. CAJA can also provide the highest quality two dimensional graphics, as well as Geographic Information System (GIS) and CAD products.

In addition, CAJA provides two motion-based products that allow decision makers to experience the visual impacts of a project by moving through and around the site. CAJA's most popular motion-based product, Site Fly Through, is virtual journey around a project, created by merging computer-generated animations of the project with video of the exiting site. For those who need the closest approach to reality short of actual construction, CAJA offers Dynamic Visualization. Dynamic Visualization creates a real-time 3D simulation of a project that, unlike the predetermined views of Site Fly Through, allows the user to move through a virtual model of the project with an interface similar to top-of-the-line computer games. By exercising menu choices, viewers can also switch between views of various project alternatives. Dynamic Simulation models are delivered as stand-alone executable files combatable with OS-X and Windows XP platforms. A high-end gaming video card is recommended for either platform.
