EventsAIR adds 3D mode to its hybrid platform OnAIR

Event technology company EventsAIR has released the latest version of its OnAIR hybrid platform. The new version adds 3D environments, which delegates can move around in to explore an event. Other new features include custom scenes that can match brands, events or real-life environments, clickable areas to guide, inform and interact, an AIRTouch device, a virtual personal assistant, and an inbuilt 3D designer to create customisable scenes. OnAir launched in May 2020, as a way to continue running events throughout the pandemic. CEO Trevor Gardiner commented: “When we initially started development of OnAIR in March 2020, we chose to go down the path of 2D so we could build a secure virtual environment that would support a range of features and functionality, like an in-person event. Now with the addition of 3D, event planners will have the best of all worlds virtual, hybrid or in-person – all in one platform. “By adding 3D to our OnAIR platform, it will help the transition to hybrid, which is already starting to happen in pockets in different parts of the world. It also gives additional value to sponsors and exhibitors to showcase their brands, products and services in an immersive design.” Global director of sales and marketing Joe Ciliberto added: “With this latest release, EventsAIR has also added a range of enhancements and features to the platform including the ability to add lower third graphics to video content via AIRCast StudioTM, exhibitor main stage presentations, and much more.” “A virtual event solution has been a necessity over the last 12 months, and this will prove to be an added benefit as we transition into hybrid and in-person events. Event planners will be able to broaden their audience reach, increase ROI and deliver a truly integrated experience for audiences worldwide.”
