In order to create a truly immersive travel experience that made each child feel transported from their hospital room, the team projected live, 360o footage on the walls, floor and ceiling of a four-wall virtual reality installation at the hospital, bringing their travel dreams to life.

The Bellevue, Wash.-based travel giant partnered with All360 Media and Pixel Rain to create virtual travel experiences that were live-streamed to St. Jude. They used 360-degree cameras and a custom-built projection room within the hospital to stream live videos of remote locations onto the walls, floor, and ceiling, giving the children an immersive, real-time travel experience.
Now, new hires meet together on Teams where they receive instructions on how to create a digital avatar and access One Accenture Park, a shared virtual space that enables immersive experiences during onboarding. The futuristic amusement park-like space has a central conference room, a virtual boardroom and monorails zooming off to different exhibits that each new-hire cohort goes through together.
Auditorium TheatreThis landmark Auditorium Theatre is offering two virtual holiday shows: A Celtic Family Christmas and A Holiday Concert with Alfreda Burke & Rodrick Dixon. You can also join historic theatre tours from the comfort of your own home. And check out their YouTube page for archived footage of past shows, talks with special guests, and performances.
Regular school education benefits from VR as well. ClassVR, a platform designed specifically for schools, provides kits consisting of headsets, software, and educational materials for teachers to implement in class. Lenovo VR Classroom offers similar hardware and software solutions. There are also virtual social spaces like Mozilla Hubs or AltspaceVR, allowing teachers to build VR classrooms and teach remotely in a more engaging environment.
In order to highlight the hotel's key features, Atlantis Dubai for example offers a virtual tour. The advantage: VR encourages potential travelers to daydream about experiencing amenities before they travel. A Tourism Management study found that VR enhances brand experience by increasing the elaboration of mental imagery and presence in comparison to other virtual tours.
360-Degree Images A more immersive approach than traditional photography, 360-degree tours allow guests to see a room or experience from every angle. In addition to providing guests with more information about the hotel, the stitched photos also assure them that there will be nothing unexpected waiting for them when they actually check in.
More immersive experiences provide a more sensory preview for potential visitors. These include VR hotel tours, rental car simulations, or engaging experiences related to specific destinations. Virgin Holidays has a storefront in Wales that gives people a virtual reality taste of possible vacation experiences. Realities.io is a startup that offers free VR tours of various destinations for the HTC Vive headset, with content downloadable via Steam. 2ff7e9595c
