Smart Cities and Technologies

Based on the current cutting-edge technologies, smart city becomes more and more popular in China. Briefly, smart city can provide various services for every citizens and outlanders in a lot of fields, such as tourism, transportation, management and so on. Since smart city contains so many contents, we just focus on one side of it —— visualization. Through the help of virtual reality, the visualization can reach a new level compared to the historical systems, which just utilized common visual display devices; in the new systems, not only eyes, but also ears, hands and even nose can feel the existence of the whole city. In this paper, we'd like to put forward some opinions on the combination of virtual reality and smart city. A detail design of virtual reality framework is put forward in third section. In section four, an actual project follows the blueprint is raised up for practical discussion.
