SEAS Associate Professor Mark Lindquist developed Land.Info, a decision support system built using the Unity 3D video game engine that was co-created with residents of Detroit, MI. Land.Info allows users to interactively design using realistic 3D visualization of a location and provides real-time metrics as design decisions are made. This demo video of Land.Info was developed by the Digital Landscapes Lab at SEAS.
