Lifesize Plans projects the future of home design with Panasonic

Challenge

When married couple John and Emma were looking to build an extension on their house in Ireland, John – a qualified professional from the built environment – discovered the Australian-based company, Lifesize Plans. With no equivalent in Ireland, they established a franchise of Lifesize Plans in Dublin. 

Lifesize Plans’ vision was to deliver the world’s first patented full-scale projection and augmented reality hybrid technology to revolutionise the design and construction industries. Its innovative approach to projecting floor plans and elevations on a 1:1 scale would give people an opportunity to walk through their new house before it is built, enabling them to be happy with the design before construction starts.

To achieve this, they needed a sophisticated technology partner that would help bring its vision to life with high-quality, immersive projection.

Solution

Creating a fully immersive experience that gives people a chance to view their dream house before it is even built, requires reliable technology that delivers a high-quality and vivid projection. As nothing like this had ever been done before, Lifesize Plans needed a market-leading partner in the immersive projection space, turning to Panasonic and Dublin-based AV specialists, Think, to help bring its vision to life.

Based on the size of the showroom being used and the six-metre-high ceiling, Lifesize Plans opted for 11 Panasonic PT-RZ990 1-Chip DLP projectors, offering up to 10,000 lumens of brightness that delivers an immersive experience for visitors to experience their house or build projects to scale. The projectors would be used to display life-size building plans, taken from architects’ drawings.
