As much as companies might like to think seating maps to sporting events, concerts and more help people understand where they will be sitting and what view they will have -- that is far from the case. Yet the StubHub [Virtual Reality feature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chop-reality) cuts through that tough call by providing consumers with a chance to experience exactly where they want to sit.

The StubHub Virtual Reality service will be tested for the sale of March Madness' Final Four ticket buyers. Working within the existing StubHub apps for iOS and Android, people can [experience their potential seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-mapping-feature) on smartphones or tablets with or without VR headset like [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixel-arena) Cardboard or Gear VR. However they do so, it'll add a lot more context.
