Description: Put on a virtual reality headset and see what it is like to be on multiple worksites in the energy industry. You can experience conventional and automated drilling, SAGD, mining, processing, natural gas and liquids pipelines. Get up close and see the careers and leading-edge technologies that are transforming the Canadian energy industry.

Review: ‘Experience the Energy: Take the Tour’ is a tour of a drilling rig and is clearly a promotional material app rather than anything worth downloading. It was kind of interesting and the quality of the 360 video was OK, but you can’t go back to the main menu once you choose one of the sections to look at, so you have to keep quitting in and out of the app to see it all. If you have nothing better to watch, maybe take a look at this, otherwise, leave it for potential investors and other people for who this app really is targeted for.
