Using augmented reality for urban design

Something interesting to augmented reality people that also conduct research in the urban modelling/design field, the movie below provides an interesting example of using augmented reality for landscaping. Developed at The Human Interface Technology Laboratory, New Zealand it enables you to create and design an urban area with roads, buildings, trees etc.

The Human Interface Technology Lab (HITLab) is a multi-disciplinary research and development lab whose work centers around human interface technology.

Lab researchers represent a wide range of departments from across the University of Washington campus, including engineering, medicine, education, social sciences, architecture and the design arts.

Check their site here for more of their AR work, extending into other principles.
