Free-Roam VR: Teams in Action by Unboring

Is immersive free-roam VR just entertainment, or can it offer real insight into how teams work? Join Nigel Thijs, the expert who first brought free-roam VR to the Isle of Man in 2021, to explore how VR can be used for team engagement and informal assessment.

This session moves beyond home VR to show how shared physical movement in a digital space creates a natural, inclusive environment. You will observe communication styles and decision-making in real-time—avoiding the artificial behavior often seen in forced team-building exercises.
