De Sensorische Stad
The Sensory City is an immersive toolkit aimed at young people aged 12 to 16. Through IX, AR, VR, sensors and a digital twin, young people playfully engage with urban challenges around biodiversity, climate adaptation and quality of life. At a hybrid play location combining virtual and real urban nature, young people experience the value and role of nature in the city. They also discover how their choices affect the quality of their surroundings. The toolkit is scalable, suitable for educational use, and gives policymakers insight into young people's perspectives.

Urban Prototype Station
Urban Prototype Station: Through Our Eyes Urban Prototype Station: Through Our Eyes is a mixed reality platform that reduces the negative effects of urban development by combining 3D city models, storytelling through volumetric video of local residents, and open data. The platform visualises the impact of construction projects at 3 functional scale levels: • bird's-eye view (1:500) for tabletop project discussions; • neighbourhood scale (1:50) for Madurodam-style area visualisation; • street level (1:1) for real-size viewing in the actual environment. It brings personal stories, such as residents' experiences of nuisance, directly into the design process through lifelike holograms. The platform provides a communication channel between decision-makers and residents, allowing plans to be visualised, residents to give direct feedback, and alternative implementation scenarios to be simulated in order to minimise nuisance.
URPIX
URban Planning IX URban Planning IX (URPIX) helps urban planners quickly translate policy scenarios into realistic visualisations of cityscapes. This gives residents insight into the consequences of different scenarios. Residents view the visuals through XR visualisations, and can also switch between different scenarios. Alongside the cityscape, URPIX also shows the effects on the living environment, such as air quality, impact on mobility, and population density. This gives residents insight into the consequences of policy choices at an early stage, and lets them take part in the dialogue between planners, policymakers and implementers.
Immersive platform
Immersive platform: making the combined impact of urban development visible to stakeholders through 3D environments This project is developing an accessible, immersive platform that lets even non-technical users experience future spatial plans before they're built. The platform makes it possible to involve everyone concerned, from residents to policymakers, in urban development processes digitally, right from an early stage. The immersive tools being developed actively guide stakeholders through the process. This builds broader support and leads to more efficient decision-making, saving both time and costs.
AR Inzicht
AR Insight: Transparent Urban Development Siekerman Technology B.V. is developing an innovative AR solution that helps municipalities communicate more effectively about urban development projects. Using new AR glasses, users see context-relevant information - duration, background and expected results - right at the location of the works. Residents can respond directly, help shape project information and get in touch with contractors. The goal: reducing nuisance through better information provision and building broader support for necessary urban development.
PLAN Configurator
PLAN is a digital tool that helps municipalities and property developers present spatial plans to residents in a way everyone can understand. During public participation sessions, it visualises changes in real time within a photorealistic 3D environment built from scanned data. This lets residents see the impact of their input straight away, building more trust and engagement. PLAN supports the participation requirements under the Environment and Planning Act (Omgevingswet). It enables authorities and project initiators to communicate plans transparently and involve residents in spatial decision-making from an early stage.
SimCityScope
SimCityScope: virtual experience and coordination of urban disruption and construction phasing SimCityScope is an interactive process, including a tool, that lets residents, business owners and policymakers experience building projects and other neighbourhood changes virtually before they happen. Through VR, AR or a screen, you see not just the end result but also the planning, temporary closures and possible disruption. This creates more understanding, engagement and better collaboration before construction begins. The project helps municipalities and other parties make better decisions on urban development together with residents.
