I presented on City Blocks several times at AVR Salento, discussing the approach taken technically to get the high fidelity visualisation, how analytics can be embedded into design tools to support designers and how a digital-physical design and visualisation platform could be used to support citizen engagement with urban planning.
I had several interesting discussions with Dr Kraus, an associate professor at Aalborg Universities Centre for Applied Game Research about working on City Blocks from entirely within the virtual domain. Dr Kraus replicated some of the City Blocks principles in the popular VR social game – Rec Room. I recommend trying it out!
