Specialist-driven VR POC (2017)

Role: Concept, Prototyping

Tools used: Unity, Node.js, WebSockets

Among several recommendations, one was to give in-store reps the ability to guide a customer through a VR experience. This would allow reps to tailor the VR demo to what the customer was interested in while still giving customers a great degree of control.
