Empowering through Extended Reality
Ming‐Chun Lee · 2022
Immersive visualization technologies, such as Extended Reality (XR) go beyond passive methods of civic engagement with community members. They offer a variety of interactive methods to expand visualization techniques in participatory planning and design. This paper discusses an experimental XR platform developed by collaboration between an academic research unit and a private software developer. This XR platform supports an on-going comprehensive planning process aimed at enabling public participation with a goal of increasing awareness of future development alternatives through 3D immersive experiences.
