City planning is too slow, obscure, and expensive for the pace of change required in cities today. Facing climate change, severe housing shortage, mass urbanization and major geo-political shifts, cities worldwide must adapt fast and effectively, but the obsolete systems prevent equity in the design and decision making process, making it difficult and costly to visually communicate projects for successful design, review, and customer and/or public engagement.

inCitu is a New York based technology company delivering on a mission to bring future cities to life via augmented reality (AR) to empower residents, industry professionals, and city governments to collaborate on the process of urban change. We turn 3D content into location-based, mobile AR experiences which can be viewed on site or remotely, radically lowering the friction to visualizing and experiencing projects for internal and external collaboration.

This presentation will give a detailed view on inCitu's product and process and will open a conversation about how architects can incorporate the tool into their day-to-day work.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will get familiar with the current state of AR technology for location-based, real-scale, outdoors, mobile 3D visualizations.
• Participants will learn how Cities, AEC companies, individual architects, and 3D providers can leverage the inCitu platform to improve and streamline their design and approval processes.
• Participants will get familiar with the inCitu platform and how to turn a 3D model to location-based AR experience
• Participants will be able to test the tool in an AR remote view during the session
