The experience of Mixed-Reality headsets

can feel intangible for most people. And when it comes to advertising them, it can get even harder.

So Meta Quest 3 decided to do something no-one had done before: they turned VR into reality. Literally.

Meet Meta Quest 3 Thrillboards:

An unique way to showcase the experience of using this brand new technology,
in a way that Gen Z can see and finally engage with.

Two immersive billboards

that people could interact with in a never-seen-before way:
stepping into them to become the main character of their favourite VR/MR titles.

And after all the fun, Meta offered an exclusive trial of its new headset.

Each billboard was a portal to a Secret Cinema-like experience

Using digital imagery, physical and audio cues from Meta Quest 3 content and mimicking the feeling of Mixed-Reality.

During 2023's spooky season, Meta chose two Halloween classics to spread the word.

From October 27h to 29th, Londoners could walk right into the billboards that used themes from The Walking Dead and Ghostbusters to create ads that felt like nothing else.
