Transformative Leap in Urban Digital Innovation
The European Citiverses Uniting for Inclusiveness (CU) project represents a transformative leap in urban digital innovation, delivering an inclusive, accessible digital twin tailored to the needs of the wide diversity of citizens and visitors, regardless of age or ability. By integrating state-of-the-art technology with user-centric and universal design, this initiative sets a new benchmark for smart, sustainable urban development in line with the EU Digital Strategy.
Collaborative Approach to Digital Inclusivity Across Europe
Our collaborative approach, combining expertise from different sectors, promises to deliver a scalable, replicable model that improves quality of life and drives digital inclusivity across Europe.
The University of Twente’s Role in Gamification Strategy
From the University of Twente, we are tasked with strategizing the gamification of the user experiences within this digital twin platform, essentially designing an engaging game-like platform for people with different abilities to engage in social activities with each other.
Incorporating Gamification to Enhance Engagement and Accessibility
Our role is specifically to incorporate gamification elements into the solution to increase user engagement. This could potentially include developing interactive features and reward systems to motivate users to explore more extensively, designing gamified portals to enable travel to different locations, and providing location-based services such as meaningful social networking. We aim to make the platform as accessible as possible to online participants, who may have limited access to physical environments, through gamification and an immersive digital twin.
