Simplifying VR concepts for stakeholders works best with analogies, interactive demos, and clear visuals. Storytelling is also an effective way which helps to showcase real-world impact and gets everyone aligned on the purpose before diving into the details.

The best way to make complex VR features resonate is through immersive experiences. If possible, allow stakeholders to experience the technology firsthand. Immersion conveys the potential of VR far more powerfully than words ever could. When a live VR demo isn’t available, leverage visual aids like compelling graphics or videos that illustrate the features clearly. Try to use simple, relatable language that even a fifth grader could understand. Tailor your explanation to your audience: For older stakeholders, a straightforward explanation paired with printed infographics may be the most effective approach. Younger stakeholders would engage better engaging videos—or ideally, the opportunity to experience the VR features themselves.

Utilize tools like ShapesXR and Bezi, that offer advanced features for prototyping XR experiences without the need for scripting. These tools can bring a developer/designer's vision to life and help stakeholders experience the functionality firsthand. Develop storyboards that illustrate the VR feature in user scenarios, highlighting its practical applications and value. This narrative-driven approach helps stakeholders grasp the feature's relevance.

- Tell stories with practical scenarios: Use narratives to show how VR can address specific industry challenges. - Share real case studies: Real-world examples make VR applications and benefits more tangible. - Offer quick tutorials: Short, practical guides foster gradual understanding and familiarity with the technology.

We have often come across terms like XR Experience, VR Experience, etc. Have you wondered why "Experience" is added to these terms? The reason is that XR is the technology that extends our reality, it is a visual technology, something that you see through your eyes. VR is something that is experienced rather than explaining it verbally through words. So the easiest way is to make the stakeholders go through a Virtual Reality Experience using any VR headset. In case a VR headset is not available, I suggest making use of real-world examples where VR has been applied. Use narratives to show how VR can address specific industry challenges. Share any real case studies and how the use of VR solved the problem.

The best thing to do in these cases is to talk less and show more, 90% of my agency's sales closing comes down to showing the work, either through a demo or cases similar to the client's niche. In conclusion: 🔸Avoid technicalities 🔸 Take advantage of showing audiovisual material 🔸 Use metaphors

Communicating complex VR features to stakeholders can be made easier by focusing on simplicity and relevance. Use clear, non-technical language and connect the features to real-world benefits like cost savings or improved efficiency. Visual demonstrations, such as mockups or videos, help stakeholders see the value in action. Analogies can also break down technical concepts into relatable ideas. Finally, encourage questions to ensure clarity and engagement. The key is to focus on the value the technology delivers rather than the technical details.

VR is like a dream you have while awake, but the dream setting is digital. People can dream about whatever they want and sometimes they cannot control their actions in the dream. In VR you have total control over your actions with the added bonus of not wanting to be there anymore.
