Getting real with virtual reality

Our PLDG staff recently enjoyed a unique team-building event—an otherworldly activity at REM5 virtual reality lab in St. Louis Park, MN.

We enjoyed an afternoon of competing in sports, hunting dragons and exploring the farthest reaches of the planet through Google Earth.

The virtual reality outing was a great team-building experience that inspired us to consider other uses, including innovative ways to support marketing and advertising campaigns. It encouraged us to think about practical applications that could provide a truly memorable, hands-on learning experience for users in a variety of industries.

The day concluded with a heart-stopping “walk the plank” challenge that took us right off the edge of a city skyscraper. For those brave enough to attempt it, we learned to overcome our fears, trust our support system and stay (sort of) calm under pressure.

Thanks to the great staff at REM5 for making our team event a huge success. We may never view reality quite the same way again!
