The dimensions of the environments explorable
in UltraPort reach far beyond what is possible today, for example in the latest
videogames, arriving to entire planets.
The technologies that can produce such a huge level of
simulation are called PlanetWide PIDs (PlanetaryInteractiveDioramas). They allow the
exploration of a celestial body of any dimension from space down to ground level, finding
human-scale details and reaching even the atomic and subatomic level.
UltraPort supports the jerarchical cellular decomposition of
the surface of entire planets; this is achived with the PlanetSector system. It is
composed by Tabulae that are capable of automatically generate jearchical planetary
surfaces, subdiving progressively in subelements of the same type near the user's Avatar
and so producing a variable detail representation of the entire celestial body.
