‘Place Engage’, a town hall brought to life through augmented reality, was announced as the winning team. The winning concept was based on an augmented reality app which would enable the people of Dublin city to better understand new developments in the city whilst in initial conception phase and help to understand and visualise these ideas in real time.

The winners will be given the opportunity to develop their innovative idea further through funding and support which will enable them on their journey.
