About the Project
AR Cityscape is a real-time augmented reality platform designed to transform urban planning. By integrating web-based WebGL spatial modeling with interactive AR overlays, this system allows planners, architects, and citizens to collaborate on 3D cityscapes in real-time.
- Real-time collaborative spatial modeling
- Interactive AR overlays for site planning
- Integration with municipal GIS databases
Key Features
3D Spatial Modeling
High-fidelity 3D modeling using WebGL and spatial computation to create dynamic cityscapes that respond in real-time to environmental and design changes.
Interactive AR Integration
Augmented reality overlays that let users visualize proposed buildings and infrastructure in real-world contexts with interactive 3D previews and annotations.
Environmental Analysis
Real-time simulation of environmental impacts like shadowing, noise pollution, and traffic patterns to inform sustainable design decisions.

Transforming Urban Design
By combining augmented reality with real-time simulation data, this platform is redefining how cities are planned and designed. The project has already been adopted by urban planning departments in 7 major cities across 3 countries.
"AR Cityscape has revolutionized our urban planning processes. The ability to visualize and modify 3D city models in real-time has reduced planning cycles by over 70%."
Sarah Chen, City Planning Director, Tokyo
