How to use VR-tools at your company’s event

Technology such as 360° cameras and Virtual Reality headsets have become increasingly popular in the entertainment market. But have you ever thought about using it for your business event? Come take a look at some advantages of VR technology in your industry.

Product placement

Is your business event meant for launching or promoting products such as furniture, decoration or technological installations? Then you will likely encounter some guests doubting about some of those products, simply because they are not sure if it will look as good in real life as it does on the picture.

Incorporating a VR visualization into your business event, will offer these potential customers an envisioning experience and make your furniture, interior designs and installations come to life as if it’s reality.

This makes the decision for your client easier and more exciting, and create a top-of-mind position for your company due to this original experience!

Education

Making an event educational is one challenge, but making an educational event original takes even more effort. However, technology is on your side here: Virtual Reality can be a perfect tool for trainings (think about the use of VR in medical studies), and is still very intriguing to most clients, so think about setting up a short trial course for your educational event.

Not only will this experience generate more interest in your original event, but your educational program will be better understood and remembered as well.

Real Estate

Selling property might not immediately seem to have a connection with technology like VR, but it can be used very effectively indeed.

Promoting your properties at a fair can get quite competitive, and showing up with a VR experience instead of some standard pictures is a great way to stand out from your competition.

Hosting your own promotional event without competitors can still be a good opportunity to show your offer through VR. People will more likely be interested in your event that offers an experience, than in some simple flyer on your competitor’s window. Your visitors will remember your company as the one that thinks creatively, and that is never a bad thing.
