As we move into 2020 we would like to share our favourite examples of great VR marketing and corporate training over the past year. There are many more excellent cases, but we couldn’t fit them all in here.
So without further ado, here are our top 10 VR experiences of 2019!
1. BMW M Drive Tour Virtual Experience

3. Drop in the Ocean
Vision3 built a revolutionary motion capture system that captured 4 users without mo-cap suits or dots inserting them live into a VR experience. Users experience the ocean from an entirely new perspective. Shrunk down to about 2 inches tall, participants hitch a ride on a jellyfish as they encounter the mysteries of the deep and experience the plastic pollution crisis from the viewpoint of sea life.

4. VR Boeing 737 Next Gen Thrust Reverser
This project was requested by a global provider of aircraft maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) services – FL Technics.

5. Ford: The Psychology of Performance
The Psychology of Performance is a collaborative research project between UNIT9, King’s College London and Ford Performance, investigating the effects of high-performance race car driving on the brain. The hypothesis is that by understanding professional race car drivers’ mental capacity, we can learn how to better perform in other challenging real life situations. And by training ourselves to adopt such a high-performance mindset, we can better cope.

6. British Airways Club Suite VR
British Airways wanted to bring their new Club Suite to life in VR, using this interactive medium to celebrate the plethora of new features that their Business Class passengers on the Airbus A350-1000 will be able to enjoy.

7. Under Armour Brand House Virtual Tour
The end of “Coming Soon” signs as we know it. Instead, imagine letting the consumer take a tour of a new space – before it’s built – through the power of Virtual Reality. Under Armour did just that in Boston’s Prudential Center to announce the arrival of their Brand House. Two virtual reality headsets were imbedded in a construction barricade where users stepped up and put on the headsets and were immediately greeted by Boston Red Sox favorite, Jackie Bradley Jr.
STUDIO: Next Now
8. Sabal Development: VR Experiences
SPINE was contracted by Sabal Development to produce VR Experiences for eight contemporary residences. This cutting-edge, immersive solution allowed for our developer client to engage with the architect, interior designer, & landscape architect throughout the design process. It also gave them the freedom to make the necessary adjustments prior to construction (saving on added construction costs down the road), and to get their marketing materials completed much faster.
