This event explores how VR, AR, and other immersives are affecting, or could in the future affect, design practices in architecture and planning, and in how we approach designing experiences of built environments. What are the substantive differences between the traditional, current and emerging practices in how they approach cueing behaviour and understanding how people respond to built structures and places? What might the practical, social and ethical implications of these shifts in design practice be? Do immersive technologies encourage or constrain creativity in design practice? How will we design and create future places? This event will explore these themes through a series of lightning presentations, a panel discussion, and opportunities to engage with demos.
This event is jointly supported by the im/material network (University of Glasgow) and Creative Informatics (University of Edinburgh).
