3D Interactive Simulation System (3DISS) Using Multimedia Application Authoring Platform for Landscape Planning Support System

Recently, 3D simulation technology has been used as a communication tool in public meetings to facilitate public participation in planning and design development review. The development of 3D visualization that performs an interactive simulation in the Virtual Environment (VE) has grown rapidly and practiced for landscape visualization. VE technology is aimed to create a VE of urban landscape and presenting various alternatives of the landscape changes. The simulation of landscape changes is intended to perform a decision-making system in public participation. A multimedia application authoring platform has an advantage in the design of the graphical user interfaces and supported by a scripting language that can interact with external files. Through the integrated development of an interactive visualization and user interface, this application can be utilized to develop a Landscape Planning Support System. Eventually, the system is expected to attract public interest and elicit more contributions and input into urban planning.
