description Augmented reality is gaining traction across many domains. One of these is participation within geo-spatial planning projects. The interactive and three-dimensional nature of augmented reality is suitably placed to cater for a higher quality of communication and information exchange in planning processes. Thus, this research provides an overview of the use of AR in planning processes, specifically regarding the participation aspect, through an open-access systematic literature review, for which the investigation identifies 35 articles concerning the current state-of-the-art of augmented reality in planning. Findings indicate the rather limited use of augmented reality in the overall planning process due to technical limitations. Nonetheless, it shows to be a useful technology where it allows for higher user engagement and a clearer understanding among users in planning projects. Additionally, in participation, the technology offers a motivational solution and creates an overall higher acceptance and awareness of the plan, making the participants more engaged and represented in the planning process.
