OVERVIEW

Description

Samsung and NASA joined forces to open the Moon to all as the 50th anniversary of the Lunar Landing approaches. 49 years ago, the world held their breath as Armstrong stepped on Moon. It was hailed as a “giant leap for mankind”. In reality, only 12 astronauts have walked on the Moon. By pushing the limits of what a phone can do, we opened up the moon to all.

- We made it possible for everyone to walk on the Moon. We brought together world-class VR creators, engineers and NASA, to create the most accurate experience of walking on the Moon, on earth

- Our rig registers your weight in real-time and lifts you as if you were one-sixth of your mass

- The Moon landscape matches NASA Lunar topographical data

- The user is challenged to explore the surface, see the earthrise and plant their own custom designed flag

Execution

The first activation of the 4D VR lunar gravity simulator ‘A Moon for All Mankind’ happened in Samsung's home country during the Winter Olympics. A full experience was set-up in the Samsung Olympic building on its VR Floor.

The second iteration of the experience was at the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona. This time we had not one, but two Lunar gravity simulators and a huge play area in Samsung’s flagship event space. With registration opening at 9am on a daily basis, the experience sold out by 9.30am each day.

Following successful rollouts in the Winter Olympics in Seoul and Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. A Moon For All Mankind now rolls out to other cities around the world at Samsung’s Flagship stores starting with the 837 space in New York in July and followed by London and Tokyo.
