The client would like to create an innovative running experience for their newly launched shoes. So, we created an installation inside a mobile truck and let it stop by different targeted running spots for the shoes trialling. On beyond, the installation would need runners to drop down their reason for the run and share through social network to inspire others. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: 1. Step on the truck 2. Go through the infinitive and interactive lighting effect 3. Step on the treadmill and choose a running truck out of three, which are different levels and difficulties 4. Start running. 5. Finish running. 6. Write down the reason why you run. 7. Get off the truck and share the image of user's running on the social media platform. 8.

TAGS: futuristic experience, immersive environment, new media, interactive, installation, generative, 3D game, RESEARCH ABSTRACT: As the campaign's core message is Let the Run Tell You Why, in the installation, we tried to let every runners behold their ambitions in their run. So, we let them to drop down a line for their reason of running. We have a blank field following the phrase "I Run for", we hope that they could give a meaning to their journey and keep inspiring the next. CHALLENGE: The hardest part is to synchronise the infinite LED mirror, projection, game control interface and interactive treadmill to the server together. The high speed mobile network is a challenge and some of the running spots have got weak wifi signal. We spent most of the time to advance the game flow performance.
