On 1 September 25, the official kick-off for the SAB-funded CityPlanningXR research project took place. Over the next two years, Software Development teams, research institutions and Chemnitz’s urban planning department will be working together to use virtual and augmented reality to bridge the gap between urban planners and citizens and to improve dialogue on future planning processes.
On 1 September 25, the official kick-off for the SAB-funded CityPlanningXR research project took place. Over the next two years, Software Development teams, research institutions and Chemnitz’s urban planning department will be working together to use virtual and augmented reality to bridge the gap between urban planners and citizens and to improve dialogue on future planning processes.
The project, which has now been launched, will run until 31 December 2027 and brings together experts from academia and industry. In addition to Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, which is coordinating the project, the following partners are involved: LEFX GmbH, compl3te GmbH, Chemnitz University of Technology, Chemnitz City Planning Office, XR-INTERACTION Innovation Network.
The aim of CityPlanningXR is to develop an innovative extended reality (XR) tool that combines virtual and augmented reality with artificial intelligence (AI). The aim is to make urban planning processes an immersive experience and easier to understand – for citizens as well as for planners. In close collaboration with future user groups, requirements are being identified and XR prototypes tested under realistic conditions to ensure the application is as user-centred and accessible as possible.
The project partners would like to thank the European Union and the Free State of Saxony for their financial support under the SAB funding scheme. We look forward to this collaboration and to research findings that will shape the future of urban planning!
