ITUD - Interactive Tool for Urban Design

ITUD 101 is a unique tool that has linked the latest interactive technologies, virtual reality, handheld analytics, and physical model analytics. Suddenly it is possible do what has not been possible so far. ITUD is designed to handle the entire team. With his intuitive work environment, one can communicate with a sketch and a working physical model. This makes it connect to an existing workflow effortlessly and instantly. One can create a 3D virtual model without a computer, analysing and simulating are ongoing, and one can meanwhile sketch notes. Now everyone can be involved in a creative process which is needed to develop or consult visions and ideas. ITUD easily combines manual sketch, physical work model and virtual model with ongoing mathematical analysis. What has been separated is clearly interrelated with each other. Does it feel like being in the 21 st century? Adding an analysis of glare, wind flow, or urban economics, assessing compliance with a land-use plan or converting the population, and it is right. ITUD, thanks to state-of-the-art technology and virtual reality, provides every inexpressible real pedestrian experience. If one feels that the scene needs to be edited, nothing is easier. Only thanks to open discussions supported by objective analyses or arguments we will achieve a great result. So why not use it. ITUD will provide direct feedback in the form of simulations or analyses in the first creative stages of the design. Continuity and interconnection of analysis and creation will save tremendous amount of time and will encourage its users to look for more variants. The proposal will be more objective, more sophisticated and better in the end. Changes in the design will not make one worry, just the opposite. Because everyone enjoys better quality work in less time. This is what is called progress. Four ITUD bases will enable users to solve problems from regions, through the development of cities, neighbourhoods or areas to detailed areas such as the street, square or courtyard. Each of the four environments has its own support module to help keep the scenario with clear rules and leads to a clear result in a few steps.
