Stad op het Spel

Stad op het Spel lets decision-makers in urban development experience the impact of their choices and collaboration first-hand. In this interactive experience, they engage in conversation with people from a future city scenario. These conversations reveal what abstract policy dilemmas and design choices actually mean for everyday life. Playing the game opens up space for empathy, reflection and better conversations. In doing so, it contributes - in an accessible and thought-provoking way - to more human-centred policy, more effective ways of working, and cross-disciplinary thinking about the city of tomorrow. In short: a conversation starter that opens up new perspectives.

SimCityScope

SimCityScope: virtual experience and coordination of urban disruption and construction phasing SimCityScope is an interactive process, including a tool, that lets residents, business owners and policymakers experience building projects and other neighbourhood changes virtually before they happen. Through VR, AR or a screen, you see not just the end result but also the planning, temporary closures and possible disruption. This creates more understanding, engagement and better collaboration before construction begins. The project helps municipalities and other parties make better decisions on urban development together with residents.

De Sensorische Stad

The Sensory City is an immersive toolkit aimed at young people aged 12 to 16. Through IX, AR, VR, sensors and a digital twin, young people playfully engage with urban challenges around biodiversity, climate adaptation and quality of life. At a hybrid play location combining virtual and real urban nature, young people experience the value and role of nature in the city. They also discover how their choices affect the quality of their surroundings. The toolkit is scalable, suitable for educational use, and gives policymakers insight into young people's perspectives.

Placemaking Immersive

Stipo and Orb Amsterdam are exploring how to turn physical participation tools for urban development into a digital, immersive application. Using virtual and mixed reality, they're investigating how citizens, policymakers and developers can gain better insight into the coherence and impact of spatial planning decisions. The envisioned IX solution makes participation more accessible and allows different stakeholders to give feedback from their own perspective and engage in co-creation. This helps improve decision-making, prevent unwanted side effects and build broader public support for complex urban challenges — think housing, sustainability and accessibility.

PublicTwin

PublicTwin is a hybrid platform that gives professionals, civil servants and residents relevant insight into the spatial planning process and the public support behind it, both online and on location. By involving residents at an early stage, the risk of setbacks is prevented or reduced. This avoids costly delays in planning processes. Visitors to PublicTwin can visualise the project and its impact, respond in real time, ask questions and make suggestions. This allows professionals to respond to feedback effectively and efficiently. PublicTwin builds community support and also gathers invaluable qualitative data to support decision-making. This makes investments considerably less risky and speeds up the planning process.

AR Inzicht

AR Insight: Transparent Urban Development Siekerman Technology B.V. is developing an innovative AR solution that helps municipalities communicate more effectively about urban development projects. Using new AR glasses, users see context-relevant information - duration, background and expected results - right at the location of the works. Residents can respond directly, help shape project information and get in touch with contractors. The goal: reducing nuisance through better information provision and building broader support for necessary urban development.

Participate-360

Participate-360: participation, data and visualisation in the living environment ReGreeny is developing a digital 3D platform that lets residents, designers and municipalities plan together for their street or neighbourhood. In many neighbourhoods, it's hard to make good decisions about things like greening, traffic and water storage, because these issues are complex and interconnected. With this platform, users can immediately see the effect of their choices, helping plans come together faster and better aligned. This helps prevent misunderstandings and delays, and builds greater support among residents.
