Immersion

When you think of a VR event, the first thing most people think of are the practical and/or physical applications of the technology. To put it literally, it’s in the name, offering access to a virtual reality. Essentially, immersing users into new environments with limitless options for customization. Fundamentally, if you can dream it, it can become a “reality”. We like to think of its immersive quality as a simulation or demonstration. VR can be a very powerful training and development tool. For instance, you could simulate how to fly a plane or operate heavy machinery. In addition, it offers unique access to exciting or exclusive experiences. For example, a PGA tour luxury golf course simulator or an underwater diving expedition. Attendees can gain a valuable experience through simulation.
