Banks and VR do not mix that well yet, as we are yet to reach that state of Virtual Reality where you could do things like banking in VR. Banks however love to play with tech and more over they do love to play with new technology like VR in order to impress their customers. As for the customers, this is a good opportunity to get a glimpse of the expensive VR headsets and what level of immersion they offer at the moment, without actually having to spend quite a lot of money on the hardware themselves.
Below are some photos of HTC Vive setup VR demo as a part of a bank's promotion running in multiple shopping malls, giving the opportunity to visitors to give it a try and then also if lucky to win a VR headset as a part of a game they can also participate in. Supplying the hardware and providing technical support for the implementation, people had quite a lot of fun playing around and for most of them it was the first time they tried VR...
It was an interesting event as you could watch how people react and get their opinion about VR and the experience they had trying it out and you also get to reach regular people that are not techy and may not be even familiar with virtual reality, so great and very useful feedback from a couple of hundred people.
