Application of Intelligent-Interaction-Based La ndscape Experience Augmentation

Abstract

Since the mid- to late 1990s, both Artificial Intelligence and wearable interaction techniques have dramatically changed the way how humans interact with the exterior environment, as such influence will be greater and greater over time. Wearable devices and mobile terminals have enhanced humans' experience on spatial environment by improving their perception, understanding, and ability of control towards certain places. This paper centers on the advanced efforts of the augmentation technologies in intelligent sensing, cognition, and feedback, by introducing several innovative applications, including 1) the live-audio augmented project for the Washington Monument; 2) the CityScope project, developed by the MIT City Science Lab, which provides intelligent decision-making aid for non-professional users; and 3) Nature-X, an augmented reality application that creates nature community scenes based on Location Based Service. All these studied cases of spatial and environmental planning and design look into the future opportunities and challenges in the context of intelligent interaction.
