Jaguar invited the public at an automotive expo to experience a ‘next-level’ virtual reality simulation. The Jaguar stand featured an F-TYPE, elevated on, what looked like, a large motion simulator platform. Once the passengers were inside and helmeted (and distracted with a pre-ride video) the car lowered and rotated to face the back wall, which was then raised. A precision driver entered and the car was rolled across our purpose-built bridge to the track. The transition to track was choreographed to match the pre-ride video, so there was an in-video reason for the slight bumps and wobbles they felt. Once on the arena, hidden cameras inside the passengers’ helmet went live – they saw exactly what they would be looking at if they weren’t wearing the helmet - and they were taken on an adrenaline-pumping ride before being obliviously returned to the stand, where they were interviewed and the truth, revealed.
