Imagining the Eco Future of Your Street in AR with Sebastian Schlecht + Robin Roemer

<p>Imagine using augmented reality outdoors on a real city street to re-imagine the street and buildings around you covered in plants, trees, green walls, cars-free - or whatever your eco-future imagination can dream up.</p> <p>Our guests today are Sebastian Schlecht and Robin Roemer. Sebastian is an architect from Germany who co-founded the Lala Ruhr project - an urban design lab that re-imagines cities with biophilic nature-based solutions. Robin is the co-founder of the software startup CityScaper which specializes in augmented reality and urban planning.</p> <p>Sebastian and Robin got together and created this world-first AR project where people could hold up an iPad or iPhone and see a greenified ecotopia version of the street they were on - and they could even design their own.</p> <p>This style of augmented reality is that it’s embedded into a streetscape’s geo coordinates - and that requires creating a 3D model of the street and geolocating the ecological design to fit with the exact location where the user is standing.</p> <p>We’ll be taking a deep dive into the tech stack that includes Lidar, GIS, and Google AR Core, with Robin about 20 mins in.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Connect with Sebastian and Robin on LinkedIn:&nbsp;</p> <p>https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebastian-schlecht-fromgreytogreen/</p> <p>https://www.linkedin.com/in/robin-roemer/</p> <p>The Lala Ruhr Lab https://www.lala.ruhr/en/start-en/</p> <p>City Scaper https://ar-gument.de/</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>How to Save the World is a Podcast About the Psychology of What Gets People To Take On Sustainable Behavior and Climate Action: Environmental engineer, designer, and author, Katie Patrick, hunts down the latest behavioral science literature from top universities such as Harvard, MIT, and Stanford to unearth the evidence-based teachings you can use to get magnitudes more people to adopt your environmental campaign, program, or product.
