New technologies like mixed reality, virtual reality, & digital twins may offer even more innovative solutions for transportation planning and public engagement. More accessible & sophisticated technologies will lead to more connected urban environments. 🤝
Recent advancements in both hardware and software have significantly enhanced the capabilities of 3D visualization. Better drone photography and gaming technology are increasing precision and rendering power. ⚙️
Virtual & hybrid engagement offer more ways to interact with a project, which can allow more people to participate. Content can be easily translated or closed captioned, 3D visualizations can simplify complex concepts, & in-person engagement can reach a different demographic.
The hybrid approach, a mix of in-person and virtual attendees, has proved particularly effective for public engagement. On our San Mateo Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) project, hybrid efforts brought in more than 700 comments from the community. 🏘️
This summer we welcomed the biggest cohort of interns we've ever had! Today, we're introducing the last 3 interns in the 27-intern cohort. Welcome to @Emilio Calderon, @Sam Gregory, and @Josh Miller. ☀️
The 3D visualization process creates a visual narrative that closely mimics real-world scenarios. In transportation, it’s particularly valuable for simulating transportation infrastructure improvements and presenting “before-and-after” scenarios. 💡
Online engagement can, in the right circumstances, yield better results. The key to making a virtual event engaging is to focus on user experience, including: a project website, digital ads, a survey, and virtual reality simulations. 🤝
3D visualization has emerged as a transformative tool capable of harnessing the power of gaming technology to create interactive and immersive simulations! 👾 Find out how 3D visualization powers public engagement: https://t.co/Vvm9oCtsqw
Before 2020, one of the most common approaches to public engagement in transportation projects was open house meetings and workshops. Now, read how agencies are blending old and new strategies to reach their communities in today’s hybrid world: https://t.co/4HFtgn2InT 🌐
It's Summer Intern Friday! Today, we're spotlighting John Thant Win, Cameron Dougal, and Lucas Fischer. These interns have been working hard all summer on some cool projects! Swipe right to learn more about them. ☀️
Creating a more walkable community comes with its own set of challenges. Our team did a Connectivity Study in Fayetteville that was a blend of systematically processing data while acknowledging the human side of the issue. Read more: https://t.co/5Jxb8bmF4n
