Samsung Canada has launched #BeFearless, an immersive experience designed to help users reach master two of the most common fears—heights and public speaking—to reach their full potential. Featuring the Galaxy S7 and GearVR, it was developed in partnership with Facebook and Oculus.

Across the heights module, participants encounter levels that gradually increase in difficulty—from a glass elevator to a drive along a cliff. The public speaking scenarios include conversations, interviews, presentations, and virtual karaoke.
