When presidential candidate Donald Trump first floated the Mexican wall idea, no one thought it had a chance of being built because not many people gave him a serious chance of being elected. After the shock election win, Happy Finish decided to build a 360 degree visualiser for the Trump wall. This will enable everyone to see how the wall will look now before $100b gets spent on it.
As Happy Finish CEO, Stuart Waplington, comments, “A lot of people thought it very unlikely that Donald Trump would become President-elect of The United States. Now the same people think it is equally unlikely he will build the wall, but we think it is time to stop doubting Mr. Trump and starting taking a look at what will get built, before it does.”
After all, this is a huge decision and Happy Finish’s Virtual & Augmented Reality technology is designed to help prevent mistakes when making large purchase or investment decisions. It is incredibly disappointing when buying something or having something built and the end result leaves you thinking ’Meh’! It’s something everyone has experienced, but whereas the majority of shopping or construction mistakes end up costing hundreds or maybe thousands of dollars at the most, the planned Mexican border wall could be one of the most costly mistakes ever made if it is not planned correctly.
To Trump voters, this is also a good opportunity for them to go ahead see what they voted for and bask in the glory of the structure that persuaded them to back Donald Trump. However, the Happy Finish visualiser does pose a slightly awkward question when it comes to the cost of the wall, by using costs researched via an MIT study. As Stuart Waplington comments, “Should the worst happen and the wall doesn’t get built, we are planning to distribute VR Cardboard ‘Make Walls Great Again’ headsets to allow people to experience it virtually...it’s the next best thing."
Visit http://buildthatwall.tech/ to take a look at Happy Finish’s fantastic visualisation tool with a function to add-in your own design on the wall itself. Waplington adds, “Our visualisation tool allows you to add images onto the wall for that personal touch. You could put a message onto the wall such as ‘Donald we love you’”.
Once you have designed and built your wall, you can share it on social media. Let’s get this conversation going people!! What should the wall look like? How does it make you feel to see it? Maybe Donald Trump will give this visualisation tool a go. After all, he is going to have to build it for real so ‘try before you buy’ would be a prudent approach considering it will cost $100bn at the very least.
Have fun with it until it gets hacked by the Russians!
For reference, the basis of the construction cost estimates originates from this MIT study the 360 images were taken from Google Maps.
