ONAIR MOVES INTO 3D

EVENTSAIR has given more than 1,000 event planners a taste of the new threedimensional graphical experience available in its OnAIR v5, after hosting a series of global online bootcamps late last month.

The 90-minute handson previews were hosted for attendees in the APAC, EMEA and Americas regions, showing them the basics of creating and configuring each aspect of a 3D OnAIR event.

The first step in the new event journey is the “event lobby” (pictured) where delegates spend a few moments setting up AIRTouch Personal Devices which act as virtual tablets to help navigate through the event.

The lobby is fully customisable with videos, clickable links, scrolling schedules and personalised messages, and with attendees then able to visit the auditorium which can also display sponsor advertising, session schedules, clickable information links and more.

Function rooms, breakout areas and other venues can be styled using 3D themes, while bootcamp attendees were also able to customise their own exhibition halls including a search function to make it easy to add stands - which can even feature brochure racks linked to downloadable collateral.

Exhibitors are able to interact via text chats or video meetings, conduct presentations and have their stands fully branded.

The company said it had received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the hands-on preview, with free personalised demonstrations of the software now available to interested parties.
