PlaceVR Creates Engaging, Memorable Experiences

Virtual reality, 360 video and virtual meetings are immersive technologies that simulate the experience of actually visiting a place for the first time. Because the experience opens new receptors in the brain, people get a real sense of presence that increases information retention. The result is that organizations are able to showcase the culture, assets and opportunities of a place in a way that is personally engaging and deeply memorable, so that they stand out in the minds of the people they want to influence.
