Abstract
Global trends have seen a strong push for more effective participatory planning in democratic societies. Effective communication and universal accessibility are underpinning principles of successful participatory planning. Virtual environments (VEs) have proven to significantly improve public understanding of 3D planning data. This paper will evaluate multi-touch screens as a 3D VE navigation device for the general public in a participatory planning context. The interactivity of multi-touch technology may better engage participants and improve their understanding of planning policies and proposed projects. With the recent proliferation of multi-touch technology in the personal device market, there is great potential for expanding accessibility of participatory planning applications.
