?? It’s been a whirlwind November at inCitu! We're so excited to announce that inCituAR? has hit triple digits! Our platform is now home to over 100 creators from five continents. Our global community includes government officials, architects, urban planners, real estate pros, community advocates, and other innovators who are setting a new standard for engagement around urban change. This incredible group of city builders has already published 145 projects: sustainable housing in the Bronx, a public park pavilion in Rotterdam and a dream house in Delhi. One creator even brought the festive spirit to life with a magnificent AR Christmas tree in Dublin, OH! ?? ?? ?? Our creators are demonstrating the true power of AR: it's not about the technology itself, but what it empowers us to achieve. Take the Central Ohio Transit Authority, for example. They partnered with inCitu to engage over 2,000 community members on the LinkUS transit plan. Residents experienced the proposed plan in AR as if it were already built, and voters approved the plan in this month’s election! This success story showcases how innovative, inclusive strategies can shape better, more connected, sustainable, and livable cities ???? ?? Also in November, the inCitu team embarked on a globe-trotting adventure, touching down in Barcelona, New York, and Melbourne to support our burgeoning community. We're not just crossing borders; we're breaking down barriers to participation in planning the future of our cities. ?? To our newest creators: welcome aboard! We can't wait to see how you'll transform our world, one augmented reality project at a time. ??

In this week's School of Visual Arts Spatial Computing class, we had the pleasure of hosting Nick Kaufmann from inCitu in the SVA MFA Interaction studio! For those unfamiliar, InCitu is an incredible augmented reality tool designed to revolutionize public engagement. It enables communities to visualize potential volumes and buildings in their environments—empowering them to understand, participate in, and get excited about what’s coming to their public spaces. Nick walked us through the company’s history and even led a hands-on workshop! We crafted clay sculptures of buildings, scanned them, learned some Blender tricks, and imported them into the InCitu platform—a fun and interactive way to explore AR workflows. ???? This session highlighted the power of tools like InCitu to make complex planning concepts accessible to non-industry audiences. It's a game-changer for fostering community collaboration! Thank you, Nick, for sharing your knowledge, insights, and creative energy. If you’re curious about how AR can transform public engagement or want to integrate custom models into your projects, I highly recommend reaching out to InCitu—it’s simple to get started (which means tons of engineering went into it) ! #AugmentedReality #UrbanPlanning #SpatialComputing #InCitu #PublicEngagement #DigitalInnovation

The housing shortage is a solvable crisis. Up for Growth’s latest report calls for action from policymakers, advocates, and all stakeholders to build the homes America needs. inCitu was recently featured in Forbes among urban tech solutions for the housing crisis. How can better communication about the future drive change? Dana Chermesh-Reshef says, "It’s about getting the unimaginable ideas and bringing them to something that people can digest and relate to.” Read and share UFG's report on Housing Underproduction here: https://bit.ly/4e781MH

??Ever struggle to align content with location based AR? ?With inCitu, no need to run back and forth between PC and mobile, edit your city and save rotation, scale, height and position adjustments directly from the AR view! ??We built this feature to support our team in the field, managing remote projects. It's allowed us to avoid costly flights by training locals to make on site adjustments, it pushes the limits of current VPS technology, effectively expanding the coverage area with manual offsets.

Join us for another free webinar with the inCituAR Community on Thursday, December 5th. We're honored to host Mindy Justis from MurphyEpson to share their cutting edge community engagement campaign with Central Ohio Transit Authority's LinkUS plan, recently approved by Columbus voters. To materialize COTA’s commitment to making #cityplanning accessible and relatable, Murphy Epson helped transform complex information into engaging, human-scale stories through narrative, event programming, and expert use of inCitu's #AugmentedReality platform. Since the launch, more than 2,073 individuals interacted with the future plan on its actual site using inCitu! Participants will learn best practices for integrating AR into a multi-layered, experiential public awareness campaign, and how to visualize both transit infrastructure and the walkable urban density that comes with it. RSVP to join us live or get a recording of the event.

?? Huge congratulations to our clients at Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) for successfully passing the LinkUS Transit Plan! ?????? ?? This landmark approval highlights COTA’s commitment to making #cityplanning accessible and relatable. By transforming complex information into engaging, human-scale stories through narrative, event programming, and #AugmentedReality, COTA has shown how planning can truly meet people where they are. Since the launch, more than 2,073 individuals interacted with the future plan on its actual site using inCitu! ??????? ?? It's also a powerful reminder that everyday citizens can — and should — shape the future of their communities and connect subject matter expertise with local knowledge. With initiatives like this, COTA and their partners are setting a new standard for public engagement in urban planning, offering a master class in experiential design for anyone interested in using #AR to build trust and strengthen community bonds. ?? Transparency can be challenging for cities, but it’s a two-way street. When residents get a seat at the table, it opens up possibilities for positive outcomes that might otherwise remain unrealized. COTA’s approach is a shining example of how innovative, inclusive strategies can build better, more connected, sustainable, and liveable cities. Central #Ohio, we see you!
