Planners have access to a venue’s measured and certified diagrams, and then are able to create event setups specific to their needs, all with that particular venue’s exact dimensions and inventory items. From there, with the MeetingMatrix 3D-VR Browser, planners can view their desired setup in 3D Virtual Reality so that they can feel as though they are actually experiencing their event. The technology is advancing the way in which business is done, which is why Professor Ramsborg and Kendall College understand its importance in the education field and will include it in their meeting and event management courses.
