Hortifrut says it has launched BerryReality, a virtual reality project that will offer a new way for professionals and consumers to connect with the growing experience, innovation and sustainable practices that promote responsible berry enjoyment.
With BerryReality, users will be able to take a virtual tour of Hortifrut’s growing fields, explore its research laboratories and discover how sustainability is deeply integrated throughout the company’s operations, according to a news release. The global interactive environment, which shows the fields in Peru, Morocco, Spain and Portugal, offers a multi-sensory experience, simulated in 3D and without moving out of the virtual environment.
It will also be possible to discover Hortifrut’s vertical business model, which covers the process from the development of new varieties, through nurseries, laboratories and production fields, to the final consumer through agricultural and commercial operations, the release said.
The virtual experience includes three stages.
