10 Best Practices for VR
Whether you're bringing virtual reality to your next event, conference, trade show or employee engagement activity, there are several best practices to incorporate it for optimum fun and safety.
To allow time for the most people to participate in the virtual reality set up, keep your demo between 1-3 minutes.
If using a game or experience that shows a lot of motion, use it wisely, as some users can get nauseous in VR.
For many at your event it will be their first time in virtual reality, try easing them in as it can be intense.
Know your crowd and avoid experiences that may not produce the best results, like intense roller coasters for seniors or something very scary for children.
Keep the experience simple. With a limited amount of time, you may find it hard to communicate objectives, rules or directions in such a brief period. This can cause a confusing and not enjoyable experience.
Be sure to include high quality audio. Audio is just as important in the visuals if you want your users to fully immerse in the VR world.
VR is a new type of media to be hitting events, don't treat it like a standard presentation or video as old school media rules don't always apply.
Choose experiences that fit your brand or your event. There are thousands of experiences to choose from, creating a relevant, memorable engagement will make the user more emotionally connected.
Use an expert event manager. Event managers are experienced in producing, monitoring and ensuring safety at VR events.
Define your goals for bringing VR to your event, whether it be fun, leads, foot traffic or something else, this can help ensure you bring the right experience.
