The University of Applied Arts Vienna hosts the highlights and results of the European Union funded four-year research project <\/span>IPCity \u2013 Integrated Project on Interaction and Presence in Urban Environments from March 23-25, 2010. The Final Event shows the highlights of the interdisciplinary research on the border of architecture \u2013 urban planning \u2013 3D visualization \u2013 mobile computing technology. Following the opening ceremony by Dr. Gerald Bast and Wolf D. Prix on March 23, 6pm the public exhibition, a lecture, panel discussion and performances in the MRTent (Mixed Reality Tent) provide an opportunity to benefit from the research results. Visitors are welcome to experience the systems hands-on and discuss results and open questions directly with participating researchers. Showcased applications cover areas including: urban renewal, environmental awareness, location-aware gaming and storytelling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Research Project IPCity<\/span><\/h3>\n

The research aim of the IPCity project is to investigate analytical and technological approaches to presence in real life settings. Analytically, this includes extending the approaches to presence accounting for the participative and social constitution of presence, the multiplicity and distribution of events in time and space. Technologically, this translates into developing portable environments for on-site configuration, mobile and light-weight mixed reality interfaces with the ambition to weave them into \u201cthe fabric of everyday life\u201d. Methodologically, this calls for moving \u201cout of the lab\u201d with field trials in real settings, applying a triangulation of disciplines and methods for evaluation. These range from interpretative-ethnographic to quasi-experimental approaches and include cognitive science, social-psychological, and cultural-anthropological disciplines.<\/span><\/p>\n

The vision of the IPCity project is to provide citizens, visitors, as well as professionals involved in city development or the organisation of events with a set of technologies that enable them to collaboratively envision, debate emerging developments, experience past and future views or happenings of their local urban environment, discovering new aspects of their city.<\/span><\/p>\n
