Using 3D visualization methods in landscape planning: An evaluation of options and practical issues

Comparing text-only and virtual reality discrete choice experiments of neighbourhood choice

“…Despite these caveats there have been frequent attempts in the conjoint, DCE and landscape and urban planning literatures, to use increasingly sophisticated visualization methods. These methods are becoming so commonplace in environmental management and landscape and urban planning, that leaders in those fields (Lovett et al, 2015) have highlighted the need for more in-depth research relating to their use.…”

“…At the same time, in the landscape and urban planning literature, there is recognition that the use of increasingly sophisticated visualization techniques is outstripping understanding of how they work. This recognition is associated with calls that "more systematic empirical treatments, particularly comparing two or more visualization techniques that differ in content or delivery, would offer the most robust way to evaluate available options" (Lovett, Appleton, Warren-Kretzschmar, & Von Haaren, 2015).…”

Use of Video and 3D Scenario Visualisation to Rate Vegetation Screens for Integrating Buildings into the Landscape

“…Increasing the scope for phone or tablet-based tools such as Layar [17] offers new opportunities for communication in landscape settings [18]. In the last few decades, digital landscape representations have shifted from abstract, static renderings to realistic visualisations that can be explored by dynamic spatial movement.…”

Commentary: Persuasive New Worlds: Virtual Technologies and Community Decision-Making

“…In this commentary I will expand on a critique of contemporary landscape visualization practice voiced by Lovett, Appleton, Warren-Kretzschmar, & Von Haaren (2015), that often our technical advances occur more http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2015.08.010 0169-2046/© 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. rapidly than our understanding of how the new tools work, pointing to a need for more reflection on our tools and practices.…”
