Global cancellations of trade shows and conferences require fast action to avoid revenue loss. Technology for remote virtual reality meetings is readily available and affordable today.
With many events and tradeshows canceled this year, virtual reality conferencing offers a great way to give face-to-face presentations to key partners and customers.
VR conferencing enables you to customize your virtual presentation for exciting and engaging experiences tailored to your audiences. That means you can bring your products and topics to life in ways that would otherwise be difficult or expensive to do at a tradeshow.

FAQ
1) Is using virtual reality conferencing safe during the Coronavirus epidemic?
As long as you use your own personal VR headset and don’t share it with others, VR conferencing with Vizible gives you a unique opportunity to safely connect with clients and colleagues and get important business done from home, without risking Coronavirus exposure. If you or your clients and colleagues don’t have a VR headset handy, you can also connect to a Vizible meeting using your desktop PC.
2) What are successful use cases for remote VR collaboration?
Here are a number of use cases we’ve seen our clients have exceptional success with:
Selling and Presenting Complex Products
Instead of shipping or hauling demo equipment, you can convey to your prospects an incredible sense of products, capabilities and layouts in VR. See our case study on Steris Corporation, a market leader for infection protection and contamination control products to learn how they use VR to present products to prospective clients.
Envisioning Room Layouts
Immerse your prospect in layout options of their office space/facilities so they can envision how it will look and feel once your product is installed. Obtain stakeholder sign-off early and avoid costly change orders.
Visualizing Project Processes
For example demonstrating to your client how a submarine pipeline will be laid on the seabed, including all equipment involved.
Conceptualizing Spatial Designs
Multiple people at different locations meeting in a virtual space to collaborate on designing the spatial layout of a trade show booth or evaluating the design of a shoe model. See our case study with footwear brand Deckers.
