Postcard CD Key

Postcard

Postcard is a short playable technical demo that lets you walk around photorealistic 3D scans of real world places. Each environment is captured from the real world, preserving its lighting, ambient sounds, and even the crunch of gravel and steps on concrete recorded on location. It’s not a large game, but it offers a hands‑on glimpse of how scanning tech can create a level of immersion far beyond typical 360 videos.

Where are you visiting? The current locations are in Canberra, Australia. The project hints at more places in the future if there's interest.

What can you do in the game? You start by picking from 10 characters, then choose from 6 locations. Once you’re in a location, you can walk, run, jump, and orbit the camera around. The controls are intentionally simple, but the visuals and the sense of being in a real space are the focus.

Under the hood, Postcard blends several techniques to achieve its look and feel. The environments combine traditional photogrammetry with mesh construction for terrain shapes and shadow catching, plus Gaussian splats to create the rich visual layer. Lighting is driven by spherical HDR photography captured in the scene, and movement takes place over all real surfaces with sound recorded near the traveler's shoes for a grounded audio experience.

Why try it? If you love pretty, highly realistic environments and want a tangible sense of how scanning tech can build immersive spaces, Postcard is a concise, visually striking snapshot of that process. It’s more about atmosphere and technical showcase than traditional gameplay, but it offers a memorable look at the possibilities of real‑world capture.
