From the website: VoiceYourView (vYv) is a cross-disciplinary research project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council’s ( EPSRC ) Digital Economy Programme. It is a collaboration between five leading universities in the UK. vYv aims to develop technology which allows people to express their perceptions of safety in public spaces wherever and whenever they want – that is, vYv will capture spontaneous comments from members of the public in real time. These comments will be used to improve the safety of public space designs. More: How does it differ from traditional forms of public consultation? Design processes typically include public consultations before construction and post-occupancy evaluation surveys. However, these only include a small proportion of users of the public space. Furthermore, they only capture a snapshot of people’s opinions – i.e., whatever occurs to them when they are given a questionnaire. vYv aims at augmenting traditional public consultations by letting people air their views whenever and wherever they want. vYv will collect all users’ views in real-time and will then present them to appropriate stakeholders so that action can be taken.
