Key takeaways
VRCraftworks aimed to create an immersive customer experience as part of the sales process, providing potential travelers with an engaging preview of Polar adventures through a unique VR format. Initially, the preference was for 360-degree video. However, bandwidth constraints and the large file sizes presented challenges in widely distributing the content, limiting its market reach.
To address these issues, VRCraftworks integrated the 360-degree video into an application. Using an innovative video compression technique, they successfully reduced the size of the original 10GB video to a more manageable 1.25GB file while maintaining high-quality playback. This approach ensured efficient distribution without compromising the visual fidelity of the content. The VR application debuted at a prominent travel show, offering potential resellers and customers a distinct way to engage and explore premium travel experiences. By showcasing the unique £15,000 Polar adventure in VR, VRCraftworks provided an unprecedented level of immersion and understanding of the extraordinary journey.
This initiative not only revolutionized the presentation of Polar adventures but also enhanced the sales and marketing strategy with a state-of-the-art VR experience. It allowed stakeholders to effectively highlight the allure and specifics of the upscale travel package, reinforcing its value and appeal to discerning travelers and travel agents alike.
