Have you ever dreamed of sharing a pilot’s panoramic view from the cockpit? To swim among sharks? Or simply to get to the top of Everest in a matter of seconds?

Very soon, these experiences will become real possibilities, thanks to several new smart entertainment devices, including the VR headset. With the help of retinal sensors and various 360-degree cameras, users wearing the device can integrate virtual worlds.

Permitting users to be completely immersed in alternative environments, this cutting-edge technology is gaining more and more popularity. A number of headsets are already available on the market, including the pioneering Oculus Rift, the Samsung Gear, or the HTC Vive, to name just a few.

Turn the Heads of Your Guests

As already discussed in one of our previous articles (https://night.bspro.in/WordpressPlugin/Plugin2/fr/comment-attirer-lattention-lors-de-vos-soirees/), it’s very important to stay on top of the latest event trends, especially when it comes to technology: it goes without saying that virtual reality is officially a must.

The possibilities offered by this new technology are limitless: Able to adapt to any theme or type of event, VR headsets will surely add the wow factor to your evening.

Whether it’s for a congress, conference or office party, creative use of virtual reality will allow you to stand out from your competition. Imagine offering your guests an escape to the beaches of Bali, or letting them get behind a Formula 1 wheel on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit. In addition to fascinating and charming your guests, they will get to enjoy a truly unique experience.

Is virtual reality’s long-term success a virtual guarantee?
Whether VR, already all the rage, will gain a greater presence on the market and become the norm is up for debate. We must therefore remain proactive and anticipate that this technology, if acclaimed, could be fairly quickly dethroned by one of its close cousins: augmented reality. Borrowing from the same basic concepts as virtual reality, that is to say, using a headset to “channel the magic”, this technology doesn’t offer a complete immersion in a second reality, but rather a fusion of the virtual and the real. The user is thus not stationed at a fixed location, but instead superimposes fictional elements in his/her present environment. Some examples of augmented reality devices are the Microsoft-developed HoloLens or Google’s Magic Lead, which permit users to construct, destroy or even move fictional 3D objects within his/her physical context.

In summary, both virtual and augmented realities hold great experiential potential, making them a must to incorporate into your next events, in order to offer an unforgettable experience to your guests!


So, there remains only one question: where will your next event take place?
