Using Virtual Reality technology at home shows

Virtual Reality is an emerging differentiator for your home show booth

One of the newest and most inspiring technology trends is “Virtual Reality” or just “VR”.

VR is extremely useful for engaging audiences to view your presentation.

Anyone can use VR now, the technology is available and affordable. In fact, there are a number of VR options available to suit any budgets. 

Google’s VR app Google Cardboard can be bought for $10. 

Facebook Oculus is a bit pricier, but you can also try other brand headsets on at any Verizon store at competitive prices.

This gives your booth visitors a chance to interact with your brand far beyond just a casual conversation with a sales rep at a tradeshow. 

Often trade shows can become static, with booths looking exactly the same. 

For attendees, it's easy to get burned out after being handed pamphlet upon pamphlet upon pamphlet. Plus, attendees are forced to stand and smile politely while a salesperson gives a drawn-out pitch. 

Imagine instead leveraging virtual reality for your booth, which will provide a completely new and different experience. 

Not only can you offer something cool that prospects will want to try out, they'll walk away from your booth talking about your exhibit instead of the competition. 

VR can fully immerse audiences into your products and experience. VR can make your product or service come to life.

Where do we get started with VR?

I understand about getting the VR headsets for simple viewing. 

The technology allows a person to use motion to guide their interactions. 

You can also work with on-screen elements via remote control, or smartphone controls. 

Home shows are an amazing opportunity to put virtual reality to work. VR works especially well for promoting home makeovers, landscaping and new products.

An important thing to consider is VR media creation. Who do you hire to produce your home show VR event? We’ll look at this aspect of the market next.
