Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Event planners face challenges in customizing and planning content for specific venue configurations and arrangements, often requiring physical travel, which is inefficient and costly, especially when dealing with diverse global venues.
Innovation Solution
An event simulation system that allows users to map digital events onto virtual models of real-world venues, enabling interactive simulations and collaborative modifications, allowing multiple users to interact with and modify virtual events in real-time or near-real time across various locations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If event planners physically travel to specific venues to customize and plan content, then they can directly observe and understand venue configurations and arrangements, but this approach is inefficient and costly, especially when dealing with diverse global venues
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates virtual copies of physical venues through three-dimensional digital models that accurately represent venue configurations, seating arrangements, media surfaces, and spatial relationships. Event planners can interact with these digital twins to understand venue layouts without physical travel, maintaining measurement precision while eliminating time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual reality environment serves as an intermediary between the event planner and the physical venue. Through VR headsets and haptic feedback devices, planners can remotely experience and measure venue characteristics as if physically present, resolving the contradiction between accurate understanding and travel time requirements.
2Ease of operation
If event planners physically travel to specific venues to customize and plan content, then they can make real-time adjustments to venue configurations, but this approach is inefficient and costly
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates editable virtual replicas of physical venues where planners can modify configurations, move seating, adjust media surfaces, and reconfigure spaces through digital interfaces. These modifications can be made remotely and rapidly without the constraints of physical travel, maintaining ease of operation while reducing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows event planners to perform preliminary venue customization and planning actions in the virtual environment before actual events occur. Configurations can be tested, modified, and optimized in advance through digital models, enabling thorough preparation without repeated physical visits to the venue.
3Reliability
If customizing and planning content requires physical travel to specific venues, then planners can directly assess venue-specific requirements, but this increases costs and reduces flexibility
Solution Approach 1:
The virtual reality platform serves as a universal tool that can be applied to any venue worldwide through digital models. Event planners can access and customize plans for multiple diverse venues through a single system, maintaining reliability of planning while dramatically increasing adaptability and versatility across different locations and venue types.
Solution Approach 2:
By creating comprehensive digital twins of various venues, the system enables planners to accurately assess and plan for multiple locations without physical travel. Each venue's unique characteristics are captured in its digital model, ensuring reliable planning while allowing flexible switching between different venue configurations and requirements.
4Measurement precision
If event planners physically travel to venues for customization, then they can ensure accurate understanding of venue configurations, but this reduces productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables planners to accurately assess multiple venue configurations through virtual models rather than physical visits. A single planner can sequentially review digital twins of numerous venues, maintaining measurement precision while increasing the number of venues that can be planned within the same time frame, thereby improving productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual reality platform allows event planners to continuously work through multiple venue assessments and customizations without interruption from travel. Planners can move seamlessly from one venue's digital model to another, maintaining continuous productive action and significantly increasing the total number of venues that can be planned compared to travel-based approaches.

AI summary
Real-world users of an event simulation system can playback a digital representation of an event that is mapped onto a virtual model of a real-world venue to simulate the event being presented at a real-world venue. As the real-world users are viewing this virtual event, these users can virtually interact with the virtual event, for example, move around the virtual event to view the virtual event at various locations and/or modify parameters, characteristics, and/or attributes of the virtual event. Thereafter, the event simulation system can propagate these modifications across multiple real-world users of the event simulation system to allow these real-world users to collaboratively interact with the virtual event.
