This study focused on a three-block section of the town’s historic downtown. To see the true impact of IVR, researchers from Rowan University Community Planning + Visualization Lab (USA) conducted a study using focus groups to examine reactions to multidimensional and multisensory IVR by simulating a fictional planning scenario in Glassboro, New Jersey, a small urban community with 20,000 year-round residents, and another 18,000 students attending Rowan University. A key component of the IVR is the degree to which the technology is immersive, engaging the mind and body of users through sight, sound, smell, and/or touch.
IVR itself provides a way for humans to interact with computers and complex data and visualization. Recorded videos of 3D models of a design proposal can only do so much, but IVR provides the possibility of exploring a development proposal in an immersive environment, no matter where you are or how far the project is located.Urban planners have been embracing digital technologies such as social media, participatory Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping, and IVR to complement or enhance traditional public engagement techniques (such as meetings and surveys), in hopes of supporting different forms of e-governments and smart cities. Viewers can get a better understanding of a project through a simulation in front of their eyes. In particular, IVR can potentially increase public engagement in the city planning process by making stakeholders more familiar with design or development proposals through a simulation in an immersive environment. But immersive VR, or IVR, can do much more than enhancing your favorite game-it can also play an important role in city planning.
One tends to think of its possibilities primarily in entertainment, such as video games using VR headsets. Authors | Mahbubur Meenar and Hunter SwansonIn the last several decades, virtual reality (or VR)-a computer technology to create simulated environments-has become increasingly popular.
