CHALLENGE

Following the launch of their newest phone just weeks before MWCA, Samsung wanted to generate buzz about the out-of-this world features of the Galaxy Note10 to media and those in the mobile industry. Samsung, who Derse has partnered with for nearly two decades, sought to convey the nearly surreal capabilities of what the phone could do with an immersive engagement.

SOLUTION

Derse’s creative minds did just that.

They designed and produced an out-of-this-world experience and environment. The exhibit experience took attendees on a multi-station journey that delved into a dreamlike wonderland to show visitors the futuristic capabilities of the new Galaxy Note10 such as 3D scanning, AR doodling, and motion-activation.

Here, attendees were in engaged in four imaginative experiences.

1. The first showcase was a reflection of “self."

Pedestals wrapped in mirrors reflected the image of attendees as they approached the display. Highlighting the device’s selfie camera, remotely controlled by the S-Pen stylus, attendees interacted with the camera to see their image displayed on the monitor in front of them.

2. “The dream is a mirror. A reflection of self, how you see yourself, and how you want to be seen.”

The second showcase was a reflection of the device – iridescent, light, and playful. A mural backdrop of a massive bubble mimicked the glistening objects enclosed in glass—various abstract knickknacks, and mostly prominently, gleaming Samsung Galaxy Note10 cell phones.

3. “Dream, create, and share in 3D AR”

The third stop on the journey showed off the 3D capabilities of the phone. In the background, an evening Los Angeles cityscape blurred into a hazy purple sky, setting the tone for the surreal and dream-like state. As a nod to childhood dreams, plush teddy bears came to life as attendees played with the phone’s animation and 3D scanning features.

4. “Create what you dream to see in this world and follow that where it takes you”

The final showcase was the most vibrant of all: a fiery portrait of a woman overlaid with abstract sketches hinted at the creative capabilities of the Galaxy Note10. A professional artist demonstrated the drawing applications by enhancing portraits of attendees in real-time.

RESULTS

The immersive exhibit optimized the dream-like qualities of Samsung’s latest products while showcasing the functionality for a hands-on experience. Visitors to the exhibit were delighted by the imaginative engagements and opportunities to individually experience the Galaxy Note10.
