EFL Webinar VR Applications

This webinar continues the Placemaking theme within our Social Topic group programming for 2024. It focuses on Virtual Reality applications to improve resident involvement in social and affordable housing. From 3/D tours of sales or rentals, interactive platforms enabling future residents to co-design concepts for shared spaces, diverse VR applications are increasingly used in our field. Our session will cover new innovations in VR, as well as considering the requirements for social and affordable housing companies wishing to use these innovations to engage and involve current and future residents (digital infrastructure, staff expertise, etc). Our educational partners at the Delft University of Technology will introduce their in-house VR Lab for urban design, and present an exciting New European Bauhaus initiative. The EU funded DigiNEB project, involves building an online community of digital solutions for the development of high quality built environments presented within the context of recent case studies of their use in practice. We’ll learn about opportunities for EFL members to participate in and utilise this community and we’ll also present some new European funding opportunities
