Abstract

The article proposes a new vision for the smart city operation center combining blockchain and virtual reality. The objective is to achieve high synchronization among the different operators, an enhanced operator performance and the creation of a trustworthy communication layer to record all the decisions taken in the virtual environment and to share data among the operators securely.
