NEWS: 36 Inch Penguin Announce the Launch of Immersive Audio Experience ‘Watchers’

The company has confirmed details of the experience which is available to take part in now.

Vita Strategic Services are an exclusive private, health, security and fire prevention company, powered by a cutting-edge AI System. We are looking to hire “Watchers” – someone who provides assistance to our AI system when it encounters an unfamiliar situation. We interview in pairs as we find a little competition helps candidates during the process. You and your fellow candidate will listen to a Case Study (a situation that previously happened where Watchers were asked for advice) and be asked to indicate how you would have reacted. There are no right answers, but it is vital that you follow the VSS Charter – “At all times, our first priority above any other consideration, is to ensure the safety of the client and their property”.

The experience involves two people  taking part together at home or virtually, allowing them to see the decisions of their partner and how that influences their own opinions and choices. Participants a smart phone, tablet or laptop, a pair of headphones and an internet connection. If you are in different locations you will need an additional device each in order to run a video call throughout. It is suitable for those who are aged 15 and above.
