Apple Blossom Scenic Drive / 3D Approach to Planning:

The Apple Blossom Scenic Drive research project allowed the Center for Rural Design to successfully create three-dimensional animations of housing design layouts using primarily geographic information systems (GIS) practices.  This data and software allowed the transformation of two-dimensional layouts and drawings into animated videos that displayed each design within a digitally created environment.  This allowed users to view each design within a visual context before making and potentially implementing major land use decisions.
