A Geospatial Tangible User Interface to Support Stakeholder Participation in Urban Planning

Public involvement in urban planning is not new, but with recent innovations in the ICT sector and their rapid uptake by society, urban planners and public authorities have access to new digital means to facilitate it. The article focuses on the potential of digital solutions for stakeholder participation during the whole lifecycle of the urban neighborhood, such as participatory maps, 3D-visualisation, augmented reality, and virtual reality, and emphasizes their specifics. The article draws on diverse project experiences in Germany, but the authors argue its relevance for other cases in Europe and worldwide.

In this paper, we discuss a novel approach to multimodal input design in Tangible User Interface (TUI). We present a prototype Bubble Journey, a game platform where users control the avatar in flash game by blowing a real handle. This computer game was combined multimodal input tool embedded sensor, which augment experience of user’s (children’s) five senses and body into game’s digital world with previous experience in daily life. Sensor embodied in multimodal input tool can convert data of sounds and movements produced by users (children) into digital signals to manipulate the virtual characters’ performance in the game.
