TitleSamsung Life Changer
BriefAre you ready to change your life? Samsung's VR experience travelled the world asking this very question. Anyone who was game could pop on a simulator and be transported to a music festival in Europe, get barrelled in the mythic Teahupoo wave, feel the rush of extreme downhill biking or visit a cities around the world...and more.

Problem In 2016, Samsung launched not only the smartphone Galaxy S7, but a whole ecosystem of products able to offer an immersive VR experience. (Gear 360° camera, Gear VR Headset, Gear S2 Watch, Level on Headset, Icon X headphones).
An opportunity considering the fact that 2016 was supposed to be the year of VR. But sales didn’t meet market expectations.
The main barrier to leverage in France was consumers’ unawareness : 50% of French were not familiar with virtual reality and 28% feared to get cut off from reality (Source: Toluna survey, LSA magazine, April 2016).
So, how did Samsung open consumer’s eyes to VR ?
