Vauxhall Astra Electric 8th Wall AR Mural

About This Project‍

In an another exciting collaboration with Aircards and partner agencies NTN and This is Energy, we helped Vauxhall Motors ltd. celebrate the launch of the new Astra Electric. This campaign marked a first of its kind for NTN, featuring two vibrant, hand-painted murals located in the bustling cities of London and Manchester, and extended beyond the streets to include an at-home experience using SLAM. These murals, not only a testament to the bold energy of the Astra Electric but also an innovative approach to engagement, came alive through augmented reality.

By scanning the murals' QR codes, onlookers were treated to a captivating AR experience where the Astra Electric was brought to life. This immersive experience allowed individuals to interact with the car in a novel way, showcasing its features and the dynamic energy it embodies.
