The Campaign

VR technology+robotic engineering. A VR simulation that actually feeds the user a candy. A smartphone app inside VR goggles and a robotic arm are linked through Bluetooth. The robotic arm moves in synch with the VR video footage of the heartthrob feeding the user candy, and actually feeds the user the candy. There are three storylines to give youth multiple experiences. The robotic arm is synched to each storyline. We added a tease function so just when the user thinks the candy will be popped in their mouth, the robotic arm pulls back. We gave attention to the fine details to stimulate the desires of young users. Close-up 3D footage was shot in 360°high-resolution 4K video so that even the tip of the idol’s finger can be seen close up. There is stereophonic audio with the direction and volume of the sound adjusting based on how the goggles are tilted.
