Freedom of Information request -
3-D Technology

Dear Birmingham City Council,

I would like to request some information on the current use, or
planned use of 3-D technology in your Council.

Does the Council currently use any 3-D technology? e.g. visual
display units for use by the public, and internal computer systems
that display 3-D, or any applications using 3-D?

If not, are there plans to use 3-D technology in the future? i.e.
for use by the public, or staff using 3-D display units with the
ability to view computer aided design programmes, or planning and
mapping information.

Jake Sully
