HoloCity – exploring the use of augmented reality cityscapes for collaborative understanding of high-volume urban sensor data

This research presents an application for visualizing the real-world cityscapes and massive transport network performance data sets in Augmented Reality (AR) using the Microsoft HoloLens, or any equivalent hardware. This runs in tandem with numerous emerging applications in the growing worldwide Smart Cities movement and industry. Specifically, this application seeks to address visualization of both real-time and aggregated city data feeds - such as weather, traffic and social media feeds. The software is developed in extensible ways, and it able to overlay various historic and live data sets coming from multiple sources.
