Which applications are protected by which Viking products, and why? How would the design of fire
suppression for a commercial office differ from an apartment, or a parking garage? Immerse yourself in
Virtual Viking’s NEW “Product in Location” training experience and see for yourself.
First things first… what’s Virtual Viking?
Virtual Viking is a first-of-its-kind VR training tool that allows users to learn about Viking products,
system designs and product interaction. The portable program is a durable and engaging training
experience for fire protection professionals — its interactive experiences (which allow users to perform
tasks such as resetting Viking valves) offer ground-breaking training experience for participants.
What new courses does Virtual Viking offer?
Virtual Flow Lab
Be among the first to try out “Virtual Flow Lab” – Virtual Viking’s NEW experience! Tech data sheets come to life and users can explore spray pattern and flow rate visualizations. You can also learn about obstructions through interactive wall and ceiling placements based on NFPA 13 codes. Want to try it out for yourself? Viking will be showcasing the product at booth #309 during AFSA42 in Orlando this September!
Product in Location
Unrivaled training solutions are always evolving with Virtual Viking, and its latest of the bunch is the all-new “Product in Location” module. Product in Location is a guided experience where users can take an exciting trip through MV Tower, which is a multi-purpose high-rise structure fully protected by Viking Products. With the use of virtual hands, users are guided through a variety of product applications where interaction is possible in so many ways. Users can observe and adjust product features, demonstrate product activations, and modify things like finishes and temperatures.
Product in Location showcases the impressive range of the Viking product line, giving users the ability to grab and interact with the sprinklers and valves. This experience focuses on adding a new level of familiarity with Viking products that more traditional mediums can’t offer. The added convenience of being able to bring an entire building full of Viking products right to the user’s doorstep is an incredibly useful tool for promoting products that are the best fit for their job.
