Time for Reality: Using VR and AR

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are the next big trend in personal and professional tech tools, and every day they’re becoming easier to use and more in demand.

You can use VR (a fully graphic world) and AR (graphics overlaying the real world) in several practical ways:

• Draw traffic to your booth. Visitors line up to use VR to drive around a virtual racetrack or stop hockey pucks. Industry-specific games and experiences are easily obtainable.
• Enhance audience engagement as attendees use headsets to view products that are too difficult to produce or transport.
• Virtually show office space or work sites. Users wearing headsets can walk through a building or environment as if they were actually there.

To use VR or AR, you need a headset, computer, and software. Upstream Tech Solutions can provide you with the VR headset (such as the Oculus Rift or the HTC VIVE) and computer with the software being easily accessible and relatively inexpensive at Oculus.com and SteamPowered.com.

VR and AR are growing fast, and the possibilities for audience engagement are expanding just as rapidly. Upstream Tech Solutions can assemble, install and provide technical support as you need it.
