They used Opensimulator for it indeed. That's Christa Lopez of University of California, Irvine, fame. She collaborated with some Swedes and they had early cases in Uppsala, but something in California too I think. She talked about it at OSCC'13 at least, "OSCC13 - Distributed Traffic Simulation in OpenSimulator - Crista Lopes", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENJ3hZBsy0s Her Swedish collaborator from some years back has a company there, https://4dialog.com/ . I think they used Opensimulator early on, I talked with them some 4-5 years ago maybe, got also access to their IIRC opensim based service then, where they had various areas of Stockholm divided into areas that different companies were responsible for -- Opensim's permission / parcel etc. mechanisms were useful for that. I don't recall if they have switched to Unity later. Their early article: Virtual Cities in Urban Planning: The Uppsala Case Study Cristina Videira Lopes and Christer Lindstrom https://scielo.conicyt.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0718-18762012000300009 I don't know if someone else was there in 2016, haven't participated myself recently. Maybe next time :) Apart from that, we have also worked a lot with city planning and other built environment development efforts here at Playsign. With the idea of using game engine based 3D apps with different tools in different stages of development, and for different user groups. We focus on participation, or better co-design, with the general public and non-professional stakeholders, and communicating to decision makers, who usually are not professionals regarding built environment or construction. We have a few such virtual city models public at http://www.playsign.net/ - some 3-4 more now in the pipeline, coming out there soon, in a week or two. An article from 3 years ago that describes quite a lot of what we have done, with Unity: Alatalo, T., Pouke, M., Koskela, T., Hurskainen, T., Florea, C., & Ojala, T. (2017). *Two Real-world Case Studies on 3D Web Applications for Participatory Urban Planning*. *Proc. Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on 3D Web Technology*, Brisbane, Australia (Web3D ’17), New York, NY, USA, 1-9. http://ubicomp.oulu.fi/files/ic3Dwt_2017.pdf After that work, we've added the Playsign Live part, for use time of buildings .. where we integrate live sensor / IoT data, and user feedback, to 3D views of buildings. Earlier we supported the various planning and design phases only, as described in that article. -Toni On Tue, Feb 4, 2020 at 2:48 AM <roland.fran...@vibel.eu> wrote: > I have a few questions about OpenSimulator use cases for landscaping / > architecture: > > > > 1.
