OnePlan, the event site planning platform, has launched what is billed as a ground-breaking new product: fully interactive event planning in 3D and 3D+.
The new tool enables event site planners to collaborate in full 3D, in real-time, moving objects and infrastructure as they wish, and with realistic views of how their stadiums, venues and sites will actually look during their events.
OnePlan is already being used by World Triathlon and FIBA (International Basketball Federation), as well as teams from the English Premier League, NBA and MLB.
Event organisers can use the tool to customise any aspect of their event site in 3D+… for day or night; lighting on or off; in rain or shine; for flooding; and more.
The company notes that… ‘This is real innovation for the sports industry – to massively improve and simplify event site planning. It brings huge sustainability and health benefits, as the events industry responds to Covid.
‘This new interactive 3D+ technology reduces the need for site visits ahead of major events, and the corresponding airline and hotel costs. Teams can now collaborate and interact on one central platform in real-time with an immersive view of how their event will actually look.’
The unique aspects of 3D+ include:
- Fully interactive planning in 3D+ (place and move any object wherever you want)
- Real-time collaboration in 3D+ with your team, partners and any stakeholder you want
- Scenario planning in 3D+ in different conditions (to give you an instant visual sense of how your event site will look, in a way that a 2D plan doesn’t allow for)
OnePlan includes:
- World-first ability to place and move objects in 3D (stages, staff, barriers, lights, vehicles, marquees, and more) in real-time, including on different floor levels of a stadium or venue
- Access aerial imagery up to 16x higher resolution than standard maps
- Plan for any event scenario like never before – time of day, weather, flooding, evacuation and more
Paul Foster, OnePlan CEO, said “Event site planning will never be the same again. Being able to plan and collaborate all aspects of your event site – barriers, marquees, stages, staff and so much more – in 3D+ is an incredible jump forward for event planners.
“OnePlan now lets you see how your event will look in any scenario – for indoor or outdoor venues, day or night, and for any weather or emergency conditions. This is truly the next generation of event and venue planning.”
OnePlan is an event site planning platform used for 1,000+ events in over 50 countries. Its innovative technology allows event planners to collaborate on designing their site plans easily and accurately in one central tool. It eliminates the need for jumping between multiple systems and endless email updates.
With offices in the UK, Germany and North America, OnePlan is a technology start-up aiming to revolutionise event site planning.
The company’s CEO, Paul Foster, has planned event sites for six Olympic and Paralympic Games, two Commonwealth Games, World Athletics Championships, as well as Football and Rugby World Cups.
OnePlan has won two recent awards in 2020, as Early stage Start-up of the Year, at the Sports Technology Awards 2020; and Best Festival Technology, at the Event Technology Awards 2020.
