Escheresque Urban Design in Social VR World: A Multi-dimensional Navigation Structure for Connected Places, and Context

Conference Paper

Full-text available

Aug 2022

Despite the recent hype around the Metaverse, Social VR worlds remain in a 'mythical territory' of habitat only used by a small subset of computer users. The comparatively small number of virtual residents have been building 3D graphic representations and computer mediated communication networks for over a decade in the perspective of VR mass compu...

Jun 2022

In this editorial linked to the thematic issue on “Gaming, Simulations, and Planning: Physical and Digital Technologies for Public Participation in Urban Planning,” we explore how urban planning has been, arguably, slow on the uptake of modern technologies and the move towards the next media revolution: The Metaverse is now on the horizon. By artfu...

Andrew Hudson-Smith

The planning process has been, arguably, slow to adapt and adopt new technologies: It is perhaps only now that it is starting to move into a more digitally focused era. Yet, it is not the current thinking around the digital that is going to change planning; it is the emerging metaverse. It is a change on the near horizon that is there but is curren...

Crypto Collectibles, Museum Funding and OpenGLAM: Challenges, Opportunities and the Potential of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

Article

Full-text available

Oct 2021

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) make it technically possible for digital assets to be owned and traded, introducing the concept of scarcity in the digital realm for the first time. Resulting from this technical development, this paper asks the question, do they provide an opportunity for fundraising for galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAM),...

Urban IoT: Advances, Challenges, and Opportunities for Mass Data Collection, Analysis, and Visualization

Chapter

Full-text available

Apr 2021

Urban Internet of Things (IoT) is in an early speculative phase. Often linked to the smart city movement, it provides a way of sensing and collecting data—environmental, societal, and transitional—both automatically, remotely, and with increasing levels of spatial and temporal detail. From city-wide data collection down to the scale of individual b...
