MR Tent: a place for co-constructing mixed realities in urban planning

This paper describes how mixed reality (MR) technology is applied in the urban renewal process to help mixed groups of stakeholders collaboratively construct, explore and discuss their vision of a particular urban project on site. It introduces the MR Tent, a physical enclosing for a collection of MR prototyping tools. We report findings from the most recent participatory workshop with users on an urban planning site concerning the interaction space, views, tangibility and representational formats.
