WOODBRIDGE, Ontario--()--Royal® Building Products, a Westlake company and leading manufacturer of exterior building products, has launched “In the Lab,” a series of 360 videos produced to give industry professionals the chance to experience its products in an immersive and entertaining virtual reality (VR) environment.

Produced to engage both trade show attendees as well as digital audiences, the VR videos feature a quirky pair of hosts “Roy and Al,” who invite the audience into their secret state-of-the-art underground laboratory beneath Royal’s headquarters. The concept was inspired by Royal’s actual research and development facilities, where R&D product engineers put Royal’s building materials, such as Atlas Stone™ Composite Stone Panels and Zuri® Premium Decking, through rigorous testing procedures for quality and performance.

Using a mobile device such as a smartphone, users can fully immerse themselves in Roy and Al’s innovation lab using cardboard VR viewers (available for free on RoyalBuildingProducts.com/360) or a VR headset. Content can also be enjoyed in 360 degrees without a headset on a smartphone (moving screen up, down, right, left) or on a desktop.

The “In the Lab” campaign features 20 videos highlighting various products, including Celect® Cellular Composite Siding, Zuri Premium Decking, Conceal™ Trim & Moulding, Portsmouth™ Shake & Shingles, Market Square® vinyl siding, Atlas Stone Composite Stone Panels and more.
