Vertical Session "Responsive City"
Responsive Cities allow the direct engagement of citizens in the planning and management of their present and future environment, enabled by the advancement of good governance and progress in information and communication technology. Dynamic planning and citizen integration differentiate the Responsive City from the Smart City: cities become first smart and then responsive. The ICT industry developed the Smart Cities concept as an opportunity to contribute to the improvement of city safety and management. Data for the Responsive City come from smart buildings, smart infrastructure and other smart environments. Those are human made structures that are monitored, metered, networked and controlled in areas of interest to the owners, builders and managers.

AR Is More Than Just Games
The biggest advantage of Augmented Reality is the bridge that is gapped between the digital and real worlds. This opens completely new opportunities for applications for digital transformation but many of them are still beyond our imagination. It is not a question of whether these platforms will become relevant, just when.
