BetaStreets on BBC Click

BetaStreets is delighted to announce our first TV appearance. Our team and the BetaStreets platform features on a sustainable transport special of BBC technology show Click. Andy and Jon met presenter Spencer Kelly in a studio in Islington.

Spencer went out with the BetaStreets team into the local streets to get some photos. Once they had got some good shots, they went back into the office for a chat about BetaStreets and to give Spencer a chance to have a go at transforming a street.

BetaStreets

BetaStreets is a purpose-built design and visualisation tool for use in street design, highways and placemaking. BetaStreets is a Computer-Generated Image (CGI) design tool developed to make street design, and placemaking accessible to anyone.

BetaStreets simplifies the design process, meaning high quality visualisations can be created in the fraction of the time it would take to produce the same using traditional methods. It lets people use images of the present, combined with items from our library of street furniture and materials to make visions of how streets and places could be.

For beginners, BetaStreets enables someone to create a simple transformation of a normal street into a place for people. It increases participation in the design process by removing barriers to inclusion.

For professionals BetaStreets can be used as a design tool in the field or desktop, to create powerful images for use in public engagement, funding applications or design reports.

Click

Click is the BBC's flagship technology programme hosted by Spencer Kelly and Lara Lewington. It's on both TV and radio - across five BBC channels - and can be found on many social networks and iPlayer. The simplest way we've worked out to describe what we do is "the best debate on global technology, social media and the internet," or "your guide to all the latest gadgets, websites, games and computer industry news".
