Rising Tides: Broadening Public Participation in Climate Action through Mixed Reality Visualization

A presentation from 2023–2024 Radcliffe fellow Narges Mahyar

At Radcliffe, Mahyar is investigating innovative techniques to integrate situated visualization, augmented reality, and civic technology to design and build a mobile platform that simulates the localized impact of climate change, thereby providing Boston residents with an immersive experience of climate change visualizations and empowering them to contribute comments and ideas on climate change issues. The platform will benefit the movement toward more equitable resilience by creating new opportunities for the public, especially the underserved communities, to raise their voices and join the discourse.
