Stuart Sykes, Managing Director at Sharp UK says:
“We are used to exploring virtual reality environments in a whole host of consumer scenarios, from gaming to fashion, retail and travel, and we wanted to bring this level of innovation and engagement to our industry and our clients.
“The aim of the experience is to provide buyers with a way to help them explore what they can achieve with technology in their workplace and organisation. Saving time and travel evaluating our portfolio more easily, to quickly reach that all-important conclusion as to which product, solutions and or service, is right for their organisation. Our Virtual Showroom will help them to make more informed decisions with features like AR, which lets them use their mobile phones to view scaled product renders, visualising solutions in their own workplace.
This is a hugely valuable tool to help boost confidence in Sharp as a Technology Partner and in our products and services. We simply can’t stand still. Innovation is key to continue meeting the changing needs of buyers, and to stand out to our clients as a supplier that goes above and beyond to help them make the best decisions for their organisation.”
