See the future of your city from the street corner

15 years ago, I got my start in local government by way of redevelopment and planning. I worked on large commercial projects and long range plans. Helping people envision what buildings would look like was always a challenge.

What if you could see proposed buildings through your phone's camera?

inCitu is an augmented reality startup with a mission to turn urban planning fights into conversations. They work with city planners to transform proposals into Augmented Reality experiences, easily accessible through a smartphone.

This new kind of immersive experience meets people where they are on the street, no app download required. Letting people see proposed changes with their own eyes makes it easier to have more nuanced conversations about complex proposals.

This could be a game changer for your on site public notice boards!
