This paper argues that virtual reality technology (henceforth VR), far from being a mere flash-in-the-pan, represents a new story telling logic that has deep implications for the way in which qualitative research is conducted. In short, VR presents us with the ability to generate more profoundly immersive experiences dir our clients than ever before, although at a cost of surrendering the control and voice of authority to which we have been accustomed.
Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming more widely available for consumers. The GfK Tech Trends Report 2017 shows an increased consumer interest in VR with 40% of UK consumers, above 18 years old, intending to buy a VR device in the next 12 months.
My Choices Foundation exists to give women and girls in India the choice to live lives free from abuse, violence and exploitation. It does this by addressing two of India's most pervasive and intractable issues: Domestic Violence and Sex Trafficking. Their anti sex-trafficking work through Operation Red Alert is leading the prevention movement in India, and has become an international pioneer in its technology-driven approach. The presentation will cover how My Choices is applying the findings from their research (that employed learnings from cognitive neuroscience and behavioural economics) to understand and influence the behaviour of families at high risk to sex-trafficking.
When beer beats wine in the restaurant! The quest fora perfect beer and food combination by using big data, algorithms and contextual consumer product testing (VR). In this paper we will therefore first introduce the concept of beer-food pairing based on molecular and machine learning information and its potential relevance for consumer delight. Subsequently, we will discuss the impact of context on the evaluation of such beer-food pairings by illustrating the current state of art in sensory and consumer context research.
This paper describes how the research industry can use Virtual Reality (VR) simulations to predict and produce the effectiveness of shopper marketing activations. We propose a VR pre-testing programme for companies keen to understand and hone the effectiveness of shopper activations. We set out how, by combining the latest thinking from psychology and the best-in-class VR technology, we can unlock growth for brand owners and retailers alike.

Virtual reality, artificial intelligence, nano-technology, automated interviewing, the list is complex and changing by the day. So whats hot and whats not? Whats about to come screaming out of the starting gates taking all of us by surprise?
Mockups are dead? VR is here. Implications for product and design research.
