The Campaign
Passers-by were able to witness a number of surrealistic and unbelievable street scene scenarios, where New Oxford Street was invaded by computer generated flying-saucers, a giant robot with laser eyes and much more!
The great aspect of this campaign is that people waiting for buses did not know this was an augmented reality technology. JCDecaux Innovate placed a camera on the external face of the shelter, live streaming on its internal face what the camera was recording. Because of the high definition of the camera, people thought it was a normal glass window, and were therefore surprised/terrified/amused by the scenes happening!
A great campaign that went viral with almost 6 million views !
