ABSTRACT

It is common for landscape architects to organize collaborative workshops to present design suggestions and collect feedback from stakeholders. Increasing attention has also been paid to VR as part of such set-ups, although mainly by the academic community. In this chapter, we suggest that practitioners lack knowledge on how to produce, operate, and implement VR technology in collaborative settings throughout planning and design stages, which has prevented it from being adopted in practice. We share our learning experiences and considerations regarding the use of VR technology in two participatory set-ups: an on-site mobile VR experience and a collaborative workshop.
