SMART

Buildings – Infrastructure – Cities

Christopher Heard

Focus

• Real time interactive environments are an emerging paradigm in Human Machine Interaction (HMI).

• Real time can be used to display and analyse big data sets at all scales, from smart homes to smart cities

Creating value comes from contextualising data in 3D.

• Control buildings via intuitive 3D interface

• Use existing data for planning (i.e. TfNSW)

• Virtual Reality! Augmented Reality!

• Mobile/Web

Challenges

• Displaying complex 3D models whilst retaining smooth UX

• Interpreting data correctly & contextualising the appropriate parts

• Lots of data: What is worth contextualising in 3D and what is better left to traditional methods

• What is the best & most intuitive way to display all this data in 3D

Conclusion

• 3D Real Time Environments provide intuitive and engaging ways to interface with existing data.

• Value comes from contextualising data in 3D.

• Conceptually, the method is scale agnostic – provided the correct data, we can apply the same method to everything from small buildings to cities.
