Specs
The system is still in rapid development, so the specification is very flexible. At this point the main components of a cityscope table will be:
Hardware
PC (preferably windows, since some software is win only)
Not every deployment uses this table configuration, often times its just a table with the most important transparent top and grid, this is often made from acrylic and laser cut.
Legos
Projectors
(Internet connection)
Software
CityScope is composed of multiple software
- Scanner (gets input from camera converts it to information that can be parsed through various simulation) currently this functionality is provided using one of below:
- Rhinoceros 3D (win only)
- Unity game engine
- Browser, JavaScript
- Simulation / Visualization this differs largely on what to simulate, or the research question on focus. In fact, some CityScope table has multiple simulations and visualizations living together.
- Gama for agent based simulation
- General Simulation and visualization
- Rhinoceros 3D / Grasshopper
- Unity game engine
