Visualise has partnered with Streaming Tank, its live streaming partners and BIMA to make this year's Digital Day on 17th November extra special. Not only will Ogilvy's Group UK Vice Chairman, Rory Sutherland, kick off Digital Day with one of his legendary talks, Visualise will be live streaming his 20-minute opening speech at 9.30am GMT to students across the country in 360.
Prior to the event, branded Google Cardboard VR headsets will be sent out to the 100 participating schools in their challenge packs with instructions on how to download the iOS App and view the talk.
Up to 10,000 students are expected to watch Sutherland's talk, transporting them to the Bishop Challoner Catholic Collegiate School in London, as if they were right in the classroom with him.
The 360 Live Stream can be viewed in a number of ways:
Google Cardboard - inserting the iPhone into the viewer for a truly immersive experience.
'Magic Window' - tilt and move the iPhone or iPad to explore the stream outside of the devices' traditional frame.
To have the best experience, it's recommend to download the App to an iPhone5 and ensure you have a fast internet connection to receive a high quality live feed.
The day will see students working alongside digital industry professionals creating new digital ideas and concepts in response to three different challenges, provided by sponsors Vodafone, Sony Music and Standard Life.
Visualise is very excited be part of BIMA's initiative to introduce the next generation to the exciting career opportunities available to them in the digital industry, via technology which is suspected to influence their futures!
