This immersive 360 Experience was created for Toyota so their customers could explore an immersive virtual world inspired by the limited edition Aygo X UNDERCOVER collaboration with Jun Takahashi which featured musician Lu, model & artist Ali Honcharuk and poet Wilson Oryema as their guides.
Our partners at Spring Studios asked us to help them create a bespoke 360 immersive virtual world for their client Toyota France. They wanted a browser based virtual experience that Toyota’s customers could view on their devices without the need to download an app. The experience would comprise a number of prerendered scenes taken from a 3D model of a virtual world allowing the customers to explore its streets. To guide the customers through the virtual world, three 3D Avatars had been created of Jun Takahashi’s models, Lu, Ali Honcharuk and Wilson Oryema. The experience would include a number of key elements:
1)A bio of each of the models.
2)An explanation of the UNDERCOVER brand Motto and design CHAOS/BALANCE.
3)Visualization of UNDERCOVERS iconic Burger Lamp.
4)A 360 experience of the car’s interior.
5)Jun Takahashi’s office.
All of which would be complemented by multi-media carousels and video, animated models and animated hotspots.
The Immersive virtual world had been created in 3D, so the next step was to map out a route for the users. The starting point would feature the Toyota Aygo X UNDERCOVER and allow the user to immediately explore its features. From there, the user would then be able to easily navigate the world via a planned route. Along the route they would meet the models, visit various areas, which included a tunnel featuring the Burger Lamp and Jun Takahashi’s office. The final destination would feature the car again and give the user a link to the Toyota website where they could configure their ideal Toyota Aygo X UNDERCOVER.

Model Placement Along Route
For this scene the user would be able to view the car from different angles and also teleport inside the car. This would give them the opportunity to explore the interior as well as view a multi-media presentation of the features of the Toyota Aygo X Undercover. To achieve this, firstly, the interior of the 3D Model of the car was rendered in 360. Secondly a bespoke pop up carousel was built which incorporate numerous images and video.
The 3 Models Lu, Ali Honcharuk and Wilson Oryema were to be placed in different scenes along the route. The user would then be able to bring up their bio in a popup. For this we rendered out the scenes with the models in situ then created a skin that would pop up in the experience. In addition to the bio text the skin would include an APNG of the models.
Users would be able to visit Jun’s office while navigating the immersive virtual world. Once inside they would be able to watch videos, view images and find out more information. To achieve this, firstly, the interior of the office was rendered in 360. For the videos, image gallery and info box, pop up’s were created so the user could view the content from within the experience.
Users would be able to visit the Tunnel and explore UNDERCOVERS iconic Burger Lamp. This was achieved firstly, by rendering the inside of the tunnel in 360. Next a pop up was added, similar to that of the models, which would display information and an APNG of the Burger Lamp.
