Moving Towards Tomorrow With Toyota

My first ever experience with virtual reality (VR) happened at TIFF 2014 thanks to Ford. They had a cool setup that allowed you to pretend you were shooting a movie in Hollywood while sitting in a new car. The footage of me inside their car still makes me laugh.

As VR continues to become more prevalent, it makes sense that another automotive brand wants to leverage it to connect with drivers. Toyota has created brand galleries at a few Canadian malls to show shoppers the features of their new cars. At the “Towards Tomorrow by Toyota” exhibits, people can use VR to learn about Toyota’s commitment to safety technologies without even going outside. Or, you can take one out for a spin to see for yourself – the choice is yours!

How To Make The SIM Swap With Public Mobile

Adulting is hard work. I graduated from Western 3 years ago, but paying the bills doesn’t get any easier. Between OSAP and credit cards, it isn’t fun. I’m too broke to commit to any real estate, let alone an expensive monthly cell phone plan. That’s why the idea of not being tied down to a contract is appealing – more freedom, less legal jargon and less headaches.

Public Mobile has launched a new campaign called “SIM Swap” that offers Canadians a free useful SIM card in exchange for a useless item. So before you toss out that coffee cup, read on to find out how you can participate.

Wearable technology is no longer an innovation to fantasize about; it’s actively shaping how we interact with brands. Before there was the Apple Watch, Disney invested $1 billion in introducing MagicBands to Walt Disney World guests.

I’m proud to say that I’m still a child at heart and I love all things Disney. I experienced the benefits of the MagicBands technology firsthand on my last trip to Walt Disney World.

Trivia and Treats at Campbell’s HQ

Campbell's

Imagine if your employer rewarded you for knowing the company’s history inside and out. Campbell’s partnered with Allen & Gerritsen’s A&G Labs for an innovative employee engagement initiative that does just that. Campbell’s added an interactive level to their cafeteria’s vending machine and in doing so, they prove that vending machines can do extraordinary things.

As you can see in the video, the screen on the vending machine asks employees trivia questions about Campbell’s. If they get two out of three questions correct, then a prize will drop out at the bottom. Usually it’s a small snack, but a few lucky winners can win a GoPro camera or Fitbit.

The element of mystery adds to the fun and it’s not surprising to see that employees want to gather around and watch as their peers answer questions. What a unique thing to do during a break!
