Use Case
A virtual-reality "system of record" of Hong Kong above and under-ground. It creates a baseline of where the city is and how it organically grows. For example, it will help different government agencies and private companies conduct repairs and maintenance of underground infrastructure such as sewage, water, and electric utilities by allowing them visually seeing how and where existing pipes and cables are laid. It will minimize synchronizing of road works due to mis- or lack of communications. Another example is that it can be used as a simulation model for impact of sudden/forecast weather changes (such as Typhoon 10) on movement and impact on people or vehicle traffic. City planners can use it to model, predict, plan patterns of changes in small developmental areas or to showcase proposed changes and get buy-ins from stakeholders.
