VU.CITY 3D app users have the flexibility to choose between desktop and cloud-based solution. Each platform offers unique advantages that cater to different project requirements and user scenarios. This guide aims to provide clear insights into both options, enabling you to select the best solution for your urban planning and visualisation needs.

Desktop experience

The desktop version of VU.CITY is ideal for clients who require robust performance and direct control over their data and tools. This option is perfect if you have access to high-specification hardware and prefer to handle large datasets and complex simulations locally.

Key Advantages

• Performance Reliability
  Runs directly on your machine, providing stable and fast response times without depending on internet connectivity.
  
  
• Full Feature Accessibility
  Access to all features without any performance compromise due to bandwidth or connectivity issues.

Cloud experience

The cloud version of VU.CITY is designed for clients seeking flexibility and ease of access, particularly when working collaboratively or across multiple locations. This option minimises the need for high-end local hardware and simplifies the management of updates and security.

Key Advantages

• Accessibility
  Log in from any device with internet access, making it easy to share views and edits with colleagues or stakeholders in real-time, regardless of location.
  
  
• Reduced Hardware Dependency
  Since processing is done on remote servers, you can use VU.CITY’s full capabilities without high-performance local hardware.

VU.CITY offers powerful tools for urban planning, whether you choose the robust capabilities of the desktop version or the flexible access of the cloud. By understanding the distinct benefits of each, you can make a more informed decision that aligns with your project requirements, workflow preferences, and overall strategic goals.
