 “Many people at Firmenich were involved in this long-term project. We conducted about 20 tests across different categories with Strategir, who upgraded both the technology and the method.
The impact on the respondents was a huge success, as the large majority showed strong enthusiasm towards the technology, making the interview a real consumer experience! The impact on the results was also impressive, showing that the technology helped the consumers to sharpen their senses and to better discriminate the fragrances.
We learned a lot during this process and we strongly believe in the benefit of VR applied to product testing. We now have proof that consumer tests conducted with 360° VR immersion are reliable and we know which methods and environment to recommend to fulfill the research needs.”
