EP41 Bob Cooney's Virtual Reality Deep Dive - Lynn Rosenthal from Periscape VR (Part 2)

VR attractions have been popular in various locations around the globe. But what about locations such as airports? Lynn Rosenthal, the founder of Periscape VR, had an idea of having their VR attraction in JFK International Airport and it proved to be very successful. It is a great way for people to unwind when they are waiting for hours at the airport or to forget the frustration when their flights are delayed. In this episode, Bob will be talking with Lynn about how they came up with the idea of creating an experience that fits the context of harried airport travelers, how they curate their content library that makes sense in the airport environment and hygiene challenges in public VR. They will also chat about how they created a standalone turnkey system that doesn’t require a high-degree of attendant engagement and what the media and advertising environment looks like from location-based virtual reality. Let’s dive in!
