WE USED AR TO TRANSFORM OOH LANDMARKS INTO CULTURAL EXPERIENCES

The world's most famous OOH landmarks, Times Square and Piccadilly Lights, were transformed into first-of-a-kind immersive stages for performances by the award-winning virtual band Gorillaz of their new track, Skinny Ape. The 'Skinny Ape' performances were created by Nexus Studios and utilized Google's ARCore Geospatial API, using AR to transform public spaces with cultural experiences. This next gen immersive outdoor experience blurred the lines between physical, digital, and virtual branded activations.
