Demonstrate immersive games and interactive media projects to clients and stakeholders
Overview
This standard is about demonstrating games or interactive media products which use immersive technology to clients and stakeholders. Immersive technology can include but is not restricted to Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR). Immersive technology outputs require particular provision regarding health and safety of users during demonstration. Demonstration can take place either at prototype stage, key stages during development or upon completion of the work.
This includes checking that appropriate arrangements for venue and equipment have been made prior to demonstrations and running demonstrations in a way that meet requirements of clients, colleagues, and your organisation.
This standard can apply to games or interactive media which can be for multi-platform or multi-channel use. Interactive Media can involve any type of interactive media content, products or services including, but not restricted to, websites, applications, or online marketing campaigns.

This standard is for anyone who demonstrates games or interactive media content, products or services that involve immersive technology.
