Emerging Simulation and VR for Green Innovations: A Case Study on Promoting a Zero-carbon Emission Platform in Hong Kong

摘要

Researchers are interested in applying different technologies for social innovations. Previous articles that discussed the potential role of different tasks in social and green innovation context are commonly seen. However, there are limited articles on establishing process models for technological application in the social and green innovation context. The lack of a proper process may hinder the benefits of these applications to the general public. To address the said gap for guiding the practitioners, we have chosen a case of applying VR and simulation for promoting a green deck project in Hong Kong. With references to our findings, we have established a 4-step process model for applying simulation and VR for green innovations, including planning, modelling, verifying and application.
