Creation of a Virtual Urban Environment (VUE) as a Teaching, Learning and Research Tool and Resource
Supervisors: Mr Michael Jayne, Mr Keith Agar

Primarily utilising existing software and resources, the project saw the creation of a virtual urban environment (VUE) for use as a teaching, learning and research tool and resource to be shared across the college of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment. The tool was comprised of a range of materials from property leases and virtual tenants, to details of real properties, client organisations, operating strategies and multidisciplinary firms. The student was involved in defining research problems, developing research strategy and conducting respondent sampling. They undertook a literature review and assisted with the development of questionnaire and interview vehicles, as well as their distribution, collation and analysis.
