Abstract

To identify effective strategies of visual product placement in virtual reality (VR) videos, an experiment was conducted to examine whether dialogic engagement, prominence, and perceived control of VR videos affected brand perception and recall. The experiment revealed that perceived control of VR videos significantly influenced interest in a brand and willingness to consider it. Prominence moderated the effect of dialogic engagement on brand recall. Dialogic engagement was positively associated with a co-creating experience. The findings suggest that product placement in VR videos resembles that of interactive media. Unlike traditional films, prominent placement is generally preferred in VR videos. Prominent placement that is highly engaging maximizes brand exposure. The current study is of significance since it differentiates VR videos from other similar interactive and/or visual media, extends the concept of dialogic engagement to VR, examines perceived control, co-creation, visual prominence, and brand perception in a new context, and offers strategic recommendations.
