Floor Plans
The interactive floor plan application requires that a version of existing floor plans are provided to iMap. These floor plans can be in any format. iMap typically redrafts the floor plans from scratch to create a clean & simplified version of the floor plans, in a vector format for high performance and presentation.
Branding
The interactive floor plan can be branded to the extent of adding a logo. Because Arial is the most popular browser font available on most devices, that is the font used. The interactive floor plan is delivered using a white background which is universal. In addition, the floor plan will incorporate the existing colors used for meeting spaces, foyers, pre-function areas, etc..
Interactive Floor Plan
~ Deployment
Upon completing the interactive floor plan project and publishing for live online viewing, iMap will furnish the Client with a URL to open and view the hosted application online.
Website Integration
It is a very simple process to display the interactive floor plan within a Client’s website. Use the URL to either display the interactive floor plan within a webpage’s iFrame or use the URL to create a link or images links within your website to open the interactive floor plan in its own webpage. Because the interactive floor plan contains a lot of content, we recommend that it be opened within its own webpage.
The URL can be used as a link on any medium, for example within an email, that when clicked will open the interactive floor plan within its own webpage.
The interactive floor plan is a reactive application, meaning it will present itself (scale-to-fit) to the maximum browser or iFrame window size. This provides maximum flexibility for the Client to present interactive floor plan within its own window or within an iFrame window within a website/webpage. The interactive floor plan contains a ‘full-screen-mode’ which allows the applications to be presented in the entire screen if deployed from a standard HTML webpage.
Optimal Window Size
The interactive floor plan optimal window size is (w)1500px x (h)900px, or within any window size ratio w:h = 5:3 to reduce white space. Viewing in a larger window will make the interactive floor plan easier and more effective to use.
Training
The use of the interactive floor plan is designed to be very intuitive. Training is typically not required to be very functional using the interactive floor plan. If the Client desires training, we offer 30 minutes of free training via conference call if required.
Data Integration
The interactive floor plan does not require live data. There is no requirement to tie into any existing client system. As a closed application working with its own data set, the data used is derived only from Client Capacity Charts, which are converted to json files.
Editing
If deploying and using the interactive floor plan without the event space presentation library add-on, there is no ability to edit meeting room dimension or capacity data, other than contacting us to make those changes. Of course, if deploying and using the interactive floor plan with the event space presentation library than staff will have complete control over all the data and content presented for each meeting room & setup.
Usability
As a web-based application, if a device is connected to the internet, there is nothing to download or install to access and view the interactive floor plan. The application will work on virtually all modern devices, within Windows, Android and iOS operating systems, using the most popular browsers including Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Safari that supports Canvas Elements.
