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 construction projects at 3 functional scale levels: • bird's eye view (1:500) for project-on-table discussions; • neighbourhood scale (1:50) for Madurodam-style district visualisation; • street level (1:1) for real-size in the actual environment. It integrates personal stories from, for example, local residents about nuisance experiences, thanks to lifelike holograms directly in the design process. The platform offers a communication channel between administrators and local residents, whereby plans are visualised, residents can give direct feedback, and alternative implementation scenarios can be simulated to minimise nuisance.
