  1. Towntology: relevant research Chris Tweed School of Architecture and Virtual Engineering Centre (VEC) Queen’s University Belfast (QUB)

  2. Overview • research into applications of ICTs to the built environment has been ongoing for the past 14 years • covers a range of topics and projects: • 3d CAD models of buildings and the urban environment • argumentation systems • energy and environmental modelling of urban environment—Energy Environmental Prediction tool GIS • dynamic urban information systems • involvement in COST UCE C4: Management and information applications development in urban civil engineering

  3. Energy and EnvironmentalPrediction (EEP) • collaborative research project with Cardiff, UCL and DeMontfort • aim was to provide a GIS-based tool to enable local authorities to predict environmental sustainability of entire city • QUB role was to apply model to Belfast and to determine end-user interaction with models in Belfast, Cardiff and London

  4. Dynamic interfaces to 3d urban information

  5. Overview of the Project Objects & processes Delivery points Information types Data acquisition options Display Representation environment Applications Image processing Navigation & way-finding Bus shelters Image (building) Camera Database Maps 2/2.5D Data Visualization Terrain & spaces Home Others GIS VR Display Office Tourism 3D geometry Buildings Photogram-metry CAD System Citizen services Mobile devices People &Vehicles Laser scanning 4D Data Specialised software Public participation Info-kiosks GPS Environment Predictive models Sensors

  6. Summary • technical expertise on modelling (geometry and energy), argumentation systems, image processing and digital communications • research interest in socio-technical issues—how systems work with (or against) users
