TD Ameritrade is dabbling in virtual reality, teaming up with Facebook's Oculus Go on an "immersive learning experience" for investors.
Through the Oculus Video app and mobile app, investors can get a real-life view inside the Nyse, Cboe and a Bitcoin mine for an "intimate" look at the world of finance.
Sunayna Tuteja, head, strategic partnerships and emerging technologies, TD Ameritrade, says: "Finance is often abstract, and we’re excited to take first step in using the power of VR, combined with our expertise and knowledge, to further demystify the often complex topic of investing."
Lee McAdoo, MD, investor education, TD Ameritrade, adds: "By bringing our best-in-class educational content to new platforms like Oculus Go, we expand our ability to teach investors through platforms that can delight and educate them simultaneously."
