Aecom has launched an interactive web-based tool that allows clients to engage and consult stakeholders from their computer or mobile device.
By providing a more resilient approach to community engagement, the new tool will allow clients to engage with a wider audience who cannot attend in-person meetings during consultation periods.
Through the new platform, a virtual event can be personalised to show consultation materials, including virtual reality and sound demonstrations, videos, maps, plans and pop-up banners. T
he tool allows for instant feedback so public reaction can be captured and saved for analysis and accurate reporting.
There is also a chat function so on-hand experts can answer questions remotely as visitors look around the materials, similar to what would take place during an in-person event.
