The Loop – Global VR Experience for OnePlus 3 launch by DigitasLBi

The Loop: A VR experience from OnePlus

Mumbai, June 15, 2016: OnePlus, the global technology start-up, is launching its third flagship smartphone –in virtual space. Behind this creative and break-through use of virtual reality technology is the combined efforts of creative and technology professionals from DigitasLBi.

“The Loop” is the name of the VR experience that creates a mélange of never ending animations in a virtual space station high above the Earth’s surface. While inside The Loop, users can explore many of the key features of the new OnePlus 3, and even order the smartphone in the virtual world – and then have it delivered to the real one.

“To create the most realistic and immersive experience possible, we’ve employed a number of innovative, never-before-seen, usages of CGI and 4D technologies, as well as 360° films,” explains Rasmus Frandsen, Creative Director at DigitasLBi Nordics. “Together, these create an experience designed to excite the global community of OnePlus fans, as well as tech enthusiasts.”

“Last year OnePlus held the first-ever product launch in VR. This time with The Loop, we’re taking things a step forward by pushing accessible VR technology to its outer limits,” said Carl Pei, Co-founder and Head of Global at OnePlus. “It’s going to go down in history as the first global shopping experience in VR!”

About the campaign:
The campaign delivers the world’s first VR looping animation. Using a VR headset, potential customers are welcomed on board the OnePlus office of the future – a spacecraft called The Loop. While on board, visitors receive a tour of the spacecraft and an introduction to the OnePlus 3, as well as the opportunity to purchase the OnePlus 3 directly in the VR experience.

The solution sets a new standard for VR experiences on smartphones. The campaign creates an interactive and engaging experience through ingenious use of seamlessly looped Hollywood quality CGI 3D stereoscopic visuals. The custom VR playback engine is optimized for low latency, high resolution, high frame-rate mobile VR immersion, making it possible for viewers to enjoy a rich VR experience on a normal smartphone.
The campaign will run in the US, Europe, India and China.
