How Fingal County Council is Revolutionising Public Engagement with Digital Twins and VR
Description
In this exciting episode of Transform Gov, we speak with Aisling Hyland, Digital Programme Officer at Fingal County Council who were the Overall Winners of the 2024 Ireland eGovernment Awards!
Aisling shares how cutting-edge technology like VR, 3D, and web views transformed how citizens engage with large public realm developments, including the revitalisation of Balbriggan's beach and main street. With the help of RealSim’s gaming technology, they built a digital twin of the area, allowing residents to immerse themselves in the proposed plans and provide feedback like never before.
Discover how Fingal overcame challenges in visualising complex projects, increased public consultation by 140%, and adjusted their plans during the pandemic by creating web-accessible views. Aisling also offers invaluable advice to other local authorities on adopting digital twins and shares a bold vision for the future of this technology in shaping public spaces far beyond planning consultations. 🌍
Tune in for an inspiring look at how digital innovation is shaping the future of public services!
