Ryan Metcalfe is the MD at Preevue where they create millimetre-accurate digital visualisations of venues all over the world.
Moving Harry Potter from London to Broadway cost approximately $80m. By scanning spaces and then visualising them, planners are able to find and fix problems on a screen before getting the chainsaw out in the car park when something doesn't fit.
In his fascinating TAD Talk on 4th August, Ryan gave us the whistle stop tour of some of his amazing work and what this technology means for the future of events like the ABBA virtual show in London.
