Towards a Collaborative Urban Planning Environment

摘要

Various urban planning stakeholders may have conflicting views on development plans and proposals. In order to achieve a shared understanding and facilitate decision making among stakeholders, this paper presents a collaborative urban planning workspace. This workspace is comprised of advanced display systems and optical tracking technologies. A distributed system framework is designed to integrate user interaction, rendering, services and data management capabilities. The system prototype has been implemented and some test scenarios have been examined with user groups.
