Participatory 3D Design
Participatory 3D Design derives from Participatory 3D Modelling (P3DM), which is a mapping method usually used in developing areas integrating local spatial knowledge with three-dimensional data. Participatory 3D Design not only collects local information from participants, but also empowers participants to create their design/plan in a virtual 3D environment. With the three-dimensional information provided by locals, planners can create a 3D model of the study area. On the other hand, planners can illustrate potential plans that are easier to be understood to the locals with the help of a more realistic modelling.
