Digital Urban is working with Cornwall Council in September to use our cutting-edge technology to give Newquay residents the chance to view development ideas for the town centre while taking a virtual reality bike ride.
Digital Urban will bring our VR technology to events being organised by the Newquay Futures project which includes Cornwall Council, Newquay Business Improvement District (BID), Newquay Town Council and the Newquay Town Team local partnership.
The project is helping shape the future of the town including producing an investment plan for the town centre.
The immersive experience will allow participants to use the latest in virtual reality headset technology to cycle around the town centre and give their feedback on the ideas being presented.
Cyclists can explore what the town could potentially look like in the future, complete with sounds, people and 360-degree views of buildings and options for pedestrian and cycle routes.
Simon Mabey, Founder of Digital Urban, said: “We aim for people to have fun and try using the latest VR technology for free whilst also making a real difference to the future of the place where they live, work and play. The experience is a great way for people of all ages to really visualise and experience potential ways that Newquay could be enhanced in future. We look forward to welcoming you to the experience.”
