Virtual Reality in Marketing and PR - What you should know and why you should...Stefan Spinnler
Virtual reality (VR) provides an immersive 3D experience that transports users inside digital environments instead of restricting them to 2D displays. This allows marketers to communicate experiences in a more engaging way. There are two main types of VR content: 360-degree videos which users can passively view, and interactive environments rendered in real-time. Mobile VR using smartphones is already widespread, while higher-fidelity tethered VR headsets connected to PCs will soon provide improved graphics, tracking, and controls. VR gives marketers a new tool to engage and educate consumers, boosting the impact of their content marketing by bringing concepts to life in an immersive way.

This document discusses various applications of virtual reality technology. It outlines how VR is used for training purposes, such as allowing Walmart to prepare employees for Black Friday sales and helping healthcare professionals practice high-risk medical procedures. The document also discusses VR applications in retail, such as allowing shoppers to explore products in 3D and map out store layouts, as well as uses in construction like enabling architects to showcase building designs to clients through immersive VR simulations before projects are constructed.
Augmented reality (AR) enhances real-world experiences by overlaying digital content and information. AR uses cameras and sensors to collect data about a user's environment and interactions and projects computer-generated images over real-world scenes. Several retailers are using AR to allow customers to virtually try on clothes and see product displays, as well as experience products in their own homes. Cosmetic companies also enable virtual makeup try-ons. AR enhances the shopping experience and brings stores directly to consumers.
Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that employs pose tracking and 3D near-eye displays to give the user an immersive feel of a virtual world. Applications of virtual reality include entertainment (particularly video games), education (such as medical or military training) and business (such as virtual meetings). Other distinct types of VR-style technology include augmented reality and mixed reality, sometimes referred to as extended reality or XR, although definitions are currently changing due to the nascence of the industry. urrently, standard virtual reality systems use either virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual environment. A person using virtual reality equipment is able to look around the artificial world, move around in it, and interact with virtual features or items. The effect is commonly created by VR headsets consisting of a head-mounted display with a small screen in front of the eyes, but can also be created through specially designed rooms with multiple large screens. Virtual reality typically incorporates auditory and video feedback, but may also allow other types of sensory and force feedback through haptic technology. "Virtual" has had the meaning of "being something in essence or effect, though not actually or in fact" since the mid-1400s.[2] The term "virtual" has been used in the computer sense of "not physically existing but made to appear by software" since 1959.[2]
In 1938, French avant-garde playwright Antonin Artaud described the illusory nature of characters and objects in the theatre as "la réalité virtuelle" in a collection of essays, Le Théâtre et son double. The English translation of this book, published in 1958 as The Theater and its Double,[3] is the earliest published use of the term "virtual reality". The term "artificial reality", coined by Myron Krueger, has been in use since the 1970s. The term "virtual reality" was first used in a science fiction context in The Judas Mandala, a 1982 novel by Damien Broderick.
Widespread adoption of the term "virtual reality" in the popular media is attributed to Jaron Lanier, who in the late 1980s designed some of the first business-grade virtual reality hardware under his firm VPL Research, and the 1992 film Lawnmower Man, which features use of virtual reality systems.[4] One method by which virtual reality can be realized is simulation-based virtual reality. Driving simulators, for example, give the driver on board the impression of actually driving an actual vehicle by predicting vehicular motion caused by driver input and feeding back corresponding visual, motion and audio cues to the driver.
With avatar image-based virtual reality, people can join the virtual environment in the form of real video as well as an avatar. One can participate in the 3D distributed virtual environment as form of either a conventional avatar.

This document provides an overview of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). It discusses the history and development of VR from the 1960s to today's applications in gaming, education, healthcare and more. The types of VR range from non-immersive to fully immersive using headsets. Devices like headsets, controllers and sensors are used to create interactive VR experiences. While VR provides benefits like realistic simulations, disadvantages include high costs and potential for isolation or health issues. The document also covers the history, types and applications of AR, how it overlays digital information onto the real world through smartphones and glasses, and its advantages in enhancing experiences though also facing technological and cost limitations.
Immersive technology leverages 360 degree content to either overlay digital images on a user's environment (augmented reality) or fully immerse users in a digital environment by shutting them off from the real world (virtual reality). Some types of immersive technology include 360 video, virtual reality accessed through head mounted displays, augmented reality, and mixed reality which combines aspects of augmented and virtual reality. Immersive technology has applications in education, healthcare, marketing, advertising, e-commerce, and more.
The document summarizes tech trends from 2014 including case studies and reviews of various technologies. It discusses interactive and augmented reality projects using technologies like Oculus Rift, mobile AR, interactive projections, and holograms. It also covers wearables, smartwatches, smart headbands, location identification using GPS, iBeacon, and WiFi. Emerging trends in 2015 that are predicted to grow include wearables and virtual reality glasses.

Ranthambore Tiger Reserves in India is one of the renowned and well-known tiger lands. It is the only one and the biggest national park in India, not only in India its world’s biggest National Park with numerous types of species, flora, and fauna. The Ranthambore Tiger Reserve Rajasthan got its name from the Ranthambore fort which is in the middle of the jungle. This fort witnessed the major history and changes of this park. Before independence, there was extensive forest cover on the Indian subcontinent. But with the increasing population and industrialization, the forest was badly exploited. And with the shrinking forest, the wildlife of the country also started shortening. This became a source of concern for the nation resulting in strict rules and policies for Ranthambore National Park. Ranthambore Tiger Reserve Rajasthan was previously privately owned by the Maharajas of Jaipur.

only need to engage users before they come to the
region, but ensure their overall experience is maximised
throughout a visit - giving them plenty of reasons to
become advocates once they return home.
As much as you can research before making a trip,
tourists now crave easy access to information once they
actually arrive. It’s great being able to offer this through
a website or social media accounts, but Apps are
becoming increasingly more popular in allowing users to
surface information as and when they need it.
This Module will bring you through the step by step
process in considering and developing your own

9. INTRODUCTION• A technology that superimposes a
computer-generated image on a user's
view of the real world, thus providing a
composite view.
• Augmented reality is an interactive
experience of a real-world environment
whereby the objects that reside in the real-
world are "augmented" by computer-
generated perceptual information,
sometimes across multiple sensory
modalities, including visual, auditory,
haptic, somatosensory, and olfactory.

10. INTRODUCTION• In augmented reality, users see and interact with the
real world while digital content is added to it. If this
sounds unclear think of Pokémon Go – millions of
people all over the world have been rushing with their
smartphones in search for small virtual creatures.
That’s the most vivid example of augmented reality.
• If you own a modern smartphone, you can easily
download an AR App and try this technology. There’s
a different way to experience augmented reality,
though – with special AR headsets, such as Google
Glass, where digital content is displayed on a tiny
screen in front of a user’s eye.

Adds digital elements to a live view often by

Augmented reality takes our current reality
and adds something to it. It does not move
us elsewhere. It simply "augments" our
current state of presence, often with clear
visors. Seen below, Samsung is near ready to
introduce its Monitorless AR glasses, which
would connect to phones or PCs via WIFI and
replace the screen on those devices.

generated by a computer. The most advanced VR experiences even provide
freedom of movement – users can move in a digital environment and hear
sounds. Moreover, special hand controllers can be used to enhance VR
experiences.
• You need to wear a special VR headset to experience virtual reality. Most VR
headsets are connected to a computer (Oculus Rift) or a gaming console
(PlayStation VR) but there are standalone devices (Google Cardboard is
among the most popular) as well. Most standalone VR headsets work in
combination with smartphones – you insert a smartphone to your VR
headset, put on the headset, and immerse in the virtual reality.

• The computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional image or
environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way by a
person using special electronic equipment, such as a helmet with a screen inside
or gloves fitted with sensors.
• Virtual reality (VR) is an interactive computer-generated experience taking
place within a simulated environment, that incorporates mainly auditory and
visual, but also other types of sensory feedback like haptic. This immersive
environment can be similar to the real world or it can be fantastical, creating an
experience that is not possible in ordinary physical reality.

VR, and more commonly, augmented reality (AR)
bring to mind certain functionalities in the gaming
industry. Whereas VR is generally delivered as an

16. INTRODUCTIONHave you ever noticed a small cardboard icon when watching videos on YouTube? It
enables the 360-degree mode that means you can wear a VR headset and experiences
fully immersive videos. 360-degree videos are considered a form of VR. Before moving on
to the defining qualities of 360 video, we must first define degrees of freedom (DOF), as
those are a good benchmark helping to determine whether a particular experience is
virtual reality or 360 video. Degrees of freedom refers to the amount of flexibility a user is
given within an environment. Take a moment to remember those math lessons you took
where they drilled in X, Y, and Z axis. In our current example, the X axis represents
backward and forward. The Y axis is left and right, and the Z axis is up and down. Where
the three lines intersect is the point of origin.

Implies a complete immersive experience that shuts out the physical world. Using
VR devices such as HTC Vive, Oculus Rift or Google Cardboard, users can be
transported into a number of real-world and imagined environments such as the
middle of a squawking penguin colony or even the back of a dragon. VR is able to
transpose the user. In other words, bring us some place else. Through closed visors
or goggles, VR blocks out the room and puts our presence elsewhere. Putting a VR
headset over your eyes will leave you blind to the current world, but will expand
your senses with experiences within. You might even find yourself on top of Mount
Kilimanjaro. The immersion is quite dramatic, with some users reporting feelings of
movement as they ascend a staircase or ride a rollercoaster within the virtual
environment.

Augmented reality systems may also be considered a form of VR that layers virtual

tablet device giving the user the ability to view three-dimensional images.
Think Scuba Diving versus Going to the Aquarium With virtual reality, you
can swim with sharks. And with augmented reality, you can watch a shark pop out
of your business card. While VR is more immersive, AR provides more freedom for
the user, and more possibilities for marketers because it does not need to be a head-
mounted display. Pepsi Max utilized AR in incredible ways throughout their
#LiveForNow campaign. The monster mirror trick is worth noting, but the most

most notable early mixed reality Apparatuses.
Mixed reality that starts with the real world virtual objects are not just overlaid
on the real world but can interact with it. In this case, a user remains in the real-world
environment while digital content is added to it; moreover, a user can interact with
virtual objects. This form of mixed reality can be considered an advanced form of AR. If

29. INTRODUCTION• Storytelling in the tourism industry will be one of the
most successful business models to leverage AR’s
capabilities.
• Take the concept of “theatrical-touring”: Tourists take
part in a location-based, audio drama with
complementary AR scenes offering a compelling and
unique experience. This goes well beyond the old audio
tour guides used in museums and national parks.
Storytelling using AR allows one to be transported into a
narrated, multi-sensory experience through time-
portals past, present, and future. This is also great as an
information source during decision making.

watch cocky, upbeat Al Capone argue with guards as you step through time to
relive the sad story of his fall from the top of the crime world. Or envision yourself
walking along the Great Wall of China transposed by the commotion of war.
Commanders and soldiers in your midst heave open cauldrons of boiling tar over
the edge to meet the Approaching enemies below.
• Asiatravel.com and its B2B arm TAcentre.com markets and sells digital theatrical

dedicated mobile back-end can then be used to
manage App-specific content and how it’s presented
to users.

ensure that the solution is easy-to-use and content is
structured intelligently. It also needs to work offline,

is cached correctly and core features function without
the need of an internet connection.” (Paul Rafter, Value

or only a business focus? Is it to facilitate bookings? Will it have geo location capability,
shopping, push notifications, QR Code readers, links to social media and websites?
Encourage visitors while in your destination to also find you? Is there already an App for
your destination? What are your competitors doing? Have you asked the market what
they want and expect? Do you include other Apps e.g. weather Apps?
2. Leave the technical stuff to the App Developers. They will provide you with a
detailed description of your App listing all the features and elements involved, will
provide sample graphics and the technological requirements. They will then provide you
with a final spectrum document to include all agreed aspects, including final quote,

digital components. AR Apps have the potential in
