Interactive Product Showcase for Adidas OZWorld

Two bespoke interactive activations were designed and delivered for the Adidas OZWorld collection launch across three key store locations in the UAE, alongside the complete branded transformation of each retail environment. Using a transparent screen portal and a 360-degree spherical interactive display, the campaign gave consumers two entirely different ways to step into the OZWorld universe: one through a window, and one through full immersion. Every activation, every piece of content, and every line of interaction software was built from the ground up specifically for the OZWorld campaign.

UAE, Three Key Store Locations

The OZWorld collection is built around a distinct concept: each shoe carries its own aesthetic universe, its own visual language, its own character. The challenge was not simply to showcase a new range of products in a retail environment. it was to make the worlds each shoe belonged to physically accessible to consumers standing on a shop floor. Standard display and POS formats were not enough. The brief demanded something that would collapse the distance between product and imagination.

Adidas needed two technically distinct, experientially complementary activations, each using a different technology to create a different kind of encounter with the OZWorld universe, delivered simultaneously across three key store locations. Alongside the activations, the complete visual transformation of all three stores was required, ensuring the campaign's identity was present at every touchpoint from the moment a consumer walked through the door.

"Adidas didn't want a product display. They wanted portals. The task was to build the technology that made stepping into another world feel completely real."

Creative Director, Adidas OZWorld

Two Technologies. Two Ways Into the OZWorld Universe.

Transparent Screen Portal

The first activation used a transparent screen to create a portal effect, consumers could walk up to the display and place their hands directly into the content, with the corresponding OZWorld shoe visible through and behind the screen as the world around it came alive. Reactive visual elements responded to hand presence within the screen, making the interaction feel instinctive, shareable, and impossible to walk past.

Spherical Interactive Display

The second activation moved consumers deeper into the OZWorld universe through a 360-degree spherical interactive display a fully three-dimensional content surface that allowed visitors to rotate through each world and watch it come to life at full spherical scale. Where the transparent screen offered a window, the sphere offered total immersion: no edges, no frame, no limits.

Bespoke Content Production

All visual content for both activations was produced specifically for the OZWorld campaign, built for each format's unique display geometry and optimised to communicate the distinct aesthetic universe of each shoe. Content for the transparent screen was designed to respond to hand presence in real time, while spherical content was composited and mapped to deliver seamless immersion across the full 360-degree surface.

Full Store Branding: Three Locations

Alongside both activations, the complete branded transformation of three Adidas key store locations was delivered for the OZWorld campaign period. Every surface, fixture, and display point was integrated into the campaign's visual identity creating a retail environment in which the activations sat within a world that was already entirely OZWorld, rather than as standalone installations within a generic store context.

Six Technologies That Turned Retail Space Into an Interactive Universe

Transparent Screen Technology

See-through display surface allowing the physical product to remain visible while OZWorld content is projected onto and around it, fusing the real shoe with its digital universe.

Hand Presence Interaction Layer

Reactive content system detecting consumer hand placement within the screen and triggering immersive world animations in real time, designed to feel instinctive and effortlessly shareable.

Spherical Interactive Display

Full 360-degree content surface with custom geometry mapping for seamless, edge-free visual immersion, allowing consumers to rotate through and explore each OZWorld universe.

Custom Software Programming

Bespoke interaction logic developed for both activations, managing touch and gesture response, world transitions, content sequencing, and display geometry across both formats.

Bespoke Visual Content Production

Purpose-built animated content created for each OZWorld universe, individually optimised for the transparent screen and spherical display formats and their distinct interaction behaviours.

Digital Interaction Design

End-to-end UX design for both activations ensuring every consumer interaction was intuitive, engaging, and designed for effortless sharing in a high-traffic retail environment.

The campaign demonstrated what becomes possible when interactive technology is developed specifically for a product's world rather than adapted from a generic format. Each activation was purpose-built for the OZWorld concept and that specificity was felt by every consumer who stepped in front of either display. The complete branded store transformation ensured there was no gap between the activation and the environment: from the moment of entry to the moment of purchase, the OZWorld universe was total.

The project demonstrates the capability to design, develop, and deliver multiple technically distinct activations simultaneously managing separate content pipelines, custom software stacks, and retail installations across multiple locations to a single campaign deadline, at the standard a global brand demands.
