Execution
Using one of the most advanced video immersion techniques we've seen for the web, thecoronabeach.com serves up a virtual beach visitors can actively control. The experience begins even before you officially enter the site. The required age-verification page, which typically hinders traffic through the site, is delivered in a uniquely Corona way as year of birth is written in the sand; a nice little hint of what there is to enjoy within the site.
On Corona beach, visitors are greeted with a 180-degree view complete with the sounds of surf, wind and birds. They can simply admire the waves rolling in and out or with a shift of the mouse they can begin to explore the beach.An off-shore island disguises a dashboard that expands to provide access to Corona TV spots, print ads and icons to be downloaded and embedded to take a piece of the beach to-go.
