Future Places toolkit
Engagement activity that offers the chance to imagine the future of a public realm and uses technology to bring it to life.
CenSoF lead: Paul Clarke
Using Augmented Reality and devices that allow particpants to see and hear through time (mobile phones), users get to experience in situ the futures they want for a specific place. Through discussion and co-design, what participants imagine will appear around them, drawn over the buildings of today. This app allows users to see options that may already be planned for the area. They can explore what these ideas would be like, how people would use them, and make changes to the Augmented Reality illustrations. Using immersive audio, participants get to hear what your future high street or public realm might sound like.
