08/07/2021 | AR4CUP WINNER of the LAVAL VIRTUAL AWARD
The Horizon 2020 EIT Digital “AR4CUP: Augmented Reality for Collaborative Urban Planning” (POLIMI – DAStU – labsimurb: coordinator B.Piga) won the First Prize of theLAVAL AWARD EUROPE 2021 (23rd edition) (23rd Ed.) as XR4CUP as the best project of the “Service” category.
The project developed a Software as a Service (SaaS), commercially named City Sense, for supporting the design and evaluation phases of urban transformations with a participatory human-centered approach (exp-EIA©). By coupling architecture and representation, environmental and social psychology, data mining, and artificial intelligence this innovative solution enables to assess the experience of existing or designed places on-site via Augmented Reality and off-site via Virtual Reality. Laval Virtual promotes creators of Extended Reality (XR) solutions worldwide by recognizing outstanding Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality projects and their creators. Here the finalists and winners of all categories: www.laval-virtual.com/laval-virtual-awards-nominees-2021.
