Urban Prototype Station

Urban Prototype Station: Through Our Eyes Urban Prototype Station: Through Our Eyes is a mixed reality platform that reduces the negative consequences of urban development by combining 3D city models, storytelling through volumetric videos of local residents, and open data. The platform visualises the impact of building projects at 3 functional scale levels: • bird's-eye view (1:500) for project-on-table discussions; • neighbourhood scale (1:50) for Madurodam-like district visualisation; • street level (1:1) for real-size viewing in the actual environment. It integrates personal stories from, for example, local residents about their experiences of nuisance, thanks to lifelike holograms directly incorporated into the design process. The platform provides a communication channel between officials and local residents, enabling plans to be visualised, allowing residents to give direct feedback, and simulating alternative implementation scenarios to minimise nuisance.
