You hold your hands up to the webcam, and the landscape changes. Peaks rise, valleys drop, and a Nissan SUV gets challenged to drive across whatever terrain you just \u201csculpted\u201d in mid-air. It takes an off-roading mindset and translates it into a simple piece of viewer control. Here, viewer control means your gestures directly shape the terrain in real time. Build a route. See if the car can handle it.<\/p>\n
That is the core idea behind Nissan\u2019s \u201cCreate Your Terrain,\u201d built by TBWA\\RAAD to help launch Nissan\u2019s SUV family in the Middle East. Instead of showing capability with another glossy montage, it invites off-roaders to invent the terrain first, then watch the vehicle conquer it.<\/p>\n
Create Your Terrain uses webcam detection as the input method. In plain terms, the camera reads your gestures and turns them into a terrain editor, so you can shape dunes and obstacles without a mouse or controller.<\/p>\n
In automotive marketing, the strongest digital launches turn enthusiast culture into an interaction loop, not a viewing moment.<\/p>\n
The microsite (www.createyourterrain.com) was reported to have attracted thousands of user-made terrains, adding up to more than 80,000 square kilometres of created landscape. The build is also credited with recognition at Dubai Lynx 2011 (Bronze, Microsites & Websites) and a GEMAS Effies 2011 finalist placement (Automotive), which fits the ambition.
