Hanoi — The exhibition "80 Years: Journey of Independence – Freedom – Happiness" is a major national event showcasing Vietnam's historical, cultural, and technological achievements. It became the first national exhibition in Vietnam to deploy a 3D digital map — a milestone for locally developed mapping technology.
The exhibition spanned a large venue with both indoor and outdoor display areas — each zone housing dozens of booths from government agencies, research bodies, and private enterprises. Static signage was not sufficient for visitors to self-navigate. Organizers needed a digital solution that worked directly in attendees' browsers, with no app download required.
The time constraint was equally demanding: the full system had to be ready in one month. The solution also needed broad compatibility with iOS and Android devices across a visitor demographic spanning multiple age groups.
Visitors accessed the map directly in their browser — no installation required. The 3D interface gave an overview of the full venue, then allowed zooming to specific booths. Indoor positioning showed each visitor's current location and provided turn-by-turn navigation to their target booth in a few taps. For outdoor areas, real-time GPS positioning extended the experience seamlessly.
Behind the visitor-facing interface, the organizing team could update booth information, adjust zone layouts, and monitor usage. This is an advantage static printed maps cannot offer. For where content changes day-to-day, the ability to update quickly separates a useful map from an outdated one.
Once an event exceeds a few dozen booths, static signage becomes inadequate. Visitors arrive unfamiliar with the venue, often with limited time. Every minute spent searching for a location is a minute not spent on exhibition content. A 3D digital map addresses this by putting spatial information directly into the visitor's hand — in context, as they move.
Unlike Google Maps — which stops at the entrance — Digimap handles both indoor and outdoor areas in a continuous experience. This is a specific requirement for events that combine both spaces, as the 80th anniversary exhibition did.
The Digimap × VEC Showcase is more than a deployment case study. When a national exhibition uses a 3D digital map for the first time — and that product is — it demonstrates real domestic technology capability. Press coverage identified Digimap as the "technology highlight" of the event. That is a third-party assessment, not a self-claim, in front of more than 10 million visitors.
At peak demand, the system handled 1.3 million sessions in a single day and remained stable throughout the event — a real-world load test more demanding than any controlled environment.
