Abstract
This study is an extension of a previous study on the visual evaluation of commercial areas in Kayutangan Street, Malang. This study focuses on the development of an interactive 3D visualization system to help decision-makers improve the quality of the Kayutangan streetscape. An interactive 3D visualization is an important part of an urban streetscape 3D simulation that presents various alternatives for landscape changes. It also facilitates interaction between users and 3D models. Considering that this system is new and has not been widely used in Malang society, as well as to assist people to understand the system, this paper proposes a user interface design that combines three models of 3D simulation: passive observation, active navigation, and active interaction. The diversity of this 3D simulation is expected to be easy to use and encourage public participation. This paper also emphasizes the utilization of a multimedia application authoring platform in order to produce an effective prototype application. A pilot workshop was conducted to promote the system to the academic community and experts in Malang.
