Abstract

Urban Sketcher, a Mixed Reality application, is designed to encourage and improve communication on urban design among stakeholders. A mix of multimodal input devices enhances collaborative interaction in real-time, while visual feedback is given to all participants on a projected live video augmentation from Urban Sketcher. Sketching, modifying the scene on site, in the space of the video augmentation supports the exchange of information with interactive visual support. Urban Sketcher is instrumental for developing visions of future urban spaces by augmenting the real environment with sketches, facades, buildings, green spaces or skylines.
