City Council urged to invest in 3D VR for future public projects

Galway City Council should invest in 3D virtual reality modelling for all major public projects going forward.

That was the opinion expressed by Councillor Forde at a meeting at City Hall last night.

He said fully 3D modeled representations provide a far more accurate and relatable picture to the public than photo montages and planning documents.

Management agreed it's a valuable tool and one that they are actively looking at further, albeit it's very expensive.
