Stop Being Overlooked at Your Next Exhibition

Turn Heads With a Virtual Reality Trade Show Booth

You’ve invested in the space, the stand design, the flights, and the team. But at a busy exhibition, all of that can be undone in just three seconds, the moment a visitor glances at your booth and walks past. Viewport XR creates custom VR, AR, touchscreen and interactive experiences that stop visitors in their tracks and give your sales team the conversations that matter.

Trusted by Industry Leaders

We’ve designed and deployed custom event tech for enterprise brands like Rio Tinto and Hancock Iron Ore.

Why Use Immersive Technology at Exhibitions?

Research shows 92% of trade show attendees visit specifically to discover new products and experiences but a visitor spends only 3–5 seconds deciding whether to engage with a booth at all. That window is your entire pitch.

Immersive technology changes the equation. Instead of hoping someone picks up a brochure, you give them something to do, and that changes everything about how they engage with your brand.

With a custom Viewport XR experience, your sales team can bypass the cold pitches and go straight to meaningful data collection:

Eliminate Logistics Headaches

Showcase heavy machinery, mining components, or full-scale infrastructure that is physically impossible or too expensive to ship to the expo floor.

Shrink Complex Sales Cycles

Let buyers interact with abstract processes or 3D engineering models. Tactile, experiential learning helps prospects understand technical concepts up to 60% faster than printed brochures.

Maximise Booth Dwell Time

Turn passive lookers into active participants with branded gamification that keeps prospects at your booth longer, naturally expanding your team’s window to pitch.

Break the fourth wall with broadcasting

Our custom-built SASHIMI platform broadcasts a mixed-reality feed of the experience onto large or small expo screens, transforming passive passers-by into an engaged audience.

Warm Up High-Value Leads

Break the ice instantly. Your team won’t need to force conversations because the interactive experience naturally transitions prospects into asking your staff technical questions.

What we build

Custom XR Experiences for Exhibition Booths

Every exhibition is different. A resources showcase in Perth runs differently to a careers expo in Melbourne or a public-facing mining event. Viewport XR designs each experience around your specific event goals, booth footprint, audience profile and key message, so you’re not paying for a generic template dressed up with your logo.

We don’t believe in gimmicks. Every visual asset we build is optimised for specific booth footprints, hardware management constraints, and audience profiles.

VR · PHOTO

VR Experiences: Total Environmental Immersion

Drop prospects straight into a digital mine site or virtual showroom - without leaving the floor.

Ideal for: industrial storytelling, asset-scale visualisation, future-recruit simulations.
AR · PHOTO

AR Activations: Bring Assets to the Floor

Overlay life-sized 3D machinery onto your booth floor via phones and tablets, and inspect it in real time.

Ideal for: equipment visualisation, trade-show tables, compact footprints.
TOUCH · PHOTO

Interactive Touchscreens: Self-Guided Tours

Keep the pavilion working when staff are busy by using accessible kiosks that let attendees explore on their own.

Ideal for: peak hours, product selectors, capability presentations.
MOBILE · PHOTO

Mobile Gaming & QR: Zero Friction, Massive Reach

Visitors scan a QR code and play on their own device - no headsets to clean, no hardware bottlenecks.

Ideal for: public expos, recruitment drives, rapid lead capture.
POD · PHOTO

Immersive Motion Pod Rides: The Foot-Traffic Magnet

Motion-simulated VR pods draw crowds and form queues that pull the whole hall toward your stand.

Ideal for: anchor booths, large-scale showcases, PR hooks.

FAQ

An immersive exhibition experience incorporates technologies like VR headsets, AR mobile apps, tactile touchscreens, or motion simulators directly into a trade show booth. It replaces static, one-way media with active, interactive participation.

Costs vary based on the type of experience, complexity and hardware requirements. A compact touchscreen or AR activation will be a different investment to a multi-user VR setup or pod ride. We’re transparent about scope and budget from the first conversation

book a free consultation and we can give you a realistic range based on your specific event.

We prep everything for event-day reliability. That means stress-testing the experience in advance, providing event setup support, and briefing your team so they can manage common situations confidently. We’ve delivered experiences at major national events, and reliability isn’t an afterthought for us.

Yes. Many of our clients repurpose their immersive experiences for other events, client meetings, showrooms and internal presentations. The IP belongs to you, and we can advise on how to get maximum value from the build across multiple touchpoints.

Not at all. We design custom experiences optimised for your specific floor allocation. For tight 3×3 footprints, AR tablets or compact touchscreen kiosks deliver massive engagement without taking up physical space. For large spaces, we scale up to multi-user VR setups or kinetic pod rides.

We can build customised analytics directly into the software. This includes embedded lead-capture forms, interactive quizzes that send performance data directly to your CRM, or QR code handoffs that track unique mobile sessions tied directly to your sales team’s metrics.

No. We build our software with a “kiosk-mode” philosophy, meaning it features dead-simple, auto-resetting user interfaces. If a user walks away mid-experience, the system automatically loops back to the start screen, allowing your booth staff to focus on conversations rather than troubleshooting tech.

Viewport XR has a long history of tier-one enterprise deployment. We have successfully designed and managed interactive experiential content for major corporations and national events, including Rio Tinto, Hancock Iron Ore, and the Resources Technology Showcase in Perth.
