Abstract
Urban design, facilitated by the integration of emerging technologies such as AR, has increasingly transitioned into an interactive and collaborative process. This paper presents PinCity, an AR urban design system that enables multiple users to have real-time tangible interaction between virtual urban models and a physical pin-array-based shape-changing display within a synchronized augmented environment. By merging a virtual urban scene with physical feedback and enabling multi-user collaboration, PinCity facilitates an intuitive experience co-design. [doi](TBD)
