Virtual and augmented reality is fast becoming an accessible and usable experience for the masses. The technology is now being applied in design and local government context, supporting cities in making optimal choices for the future.
VR and AR is enabling city planners to create a virtual avatar of a town, to showcase and monitor project progress, visualize future plans and enhancing crisis management. This facilitates the dialogue between various stakeholders and citizens’ participation is encouraged.
