Need an Example?

A Middlesex Shopping Centre deployed a series of our Ready2Use VR to increase engagement and footfall to their series of activations. The which visitors could follow a trail of Virtual Reality experiences.

Our client is responsible for the marketing activations and activities for the site. Having worked with them for a number of years asked us what we could do to help on the project.

“We need something for space, sea, beach and jungle what can you do?”

We offered a 5 point VR trail experience for all themes, from our Ready2Use library. Our steam supplied the QR codes and all the support included in the price. This was a huge success, with a much higher than expected footfall and engagement for an activation with limited budget.
