The Challenge:
SBM Offshore, a global leader in floating production and mooring systems for the offshore energy industry, sought to create a highly engaging and informative experience for the launch event of their new rig technologies. The objective was to effectively communicate the advanced features and benefits of these innovations to a diverse audience of industry stakeholders, potential clients, and media representatives, making a significant and lasting impact.
The Solution:
To achieve this, a suite of cutting-edge media and virtual reality (VR) experiences was developed to showcase SBM Offshore’s latest advancements. The core of the immersive launch was a detailed virtual reality tour of SBM’s new rig technologies. This VR experience allowed attendees to virtually explore the complex structures and functionalities of the rigs in an interactive and realistic manner, providing a level of understanding and engagement far beyond traditional static displays or presentations. Users could navigate key areas, examine critical components, and gain a comprehensive understanding of the technology’s design and operational advantages.
Complementing the VR tour was a derivative teaser video designed to generate excitement and anticipation leading up to and during the launch event. This visually compelling video likely highlighted key innovations and the overall impact of SBM’s new rig technologies in a concise and impactful format.
Additionally, a holographic Hypervision experience was created to add a unique and visually striking element to the launch. This technology would have presented a three-dimensional holographic projection of the rig technologies or key components, offering a captivating and futuristic way to visualize the innovations and further enhance audience engagement.
