RAV4 FOR 4
Wanting to celebrate the release of the new Rav4 SUV, Toyota in partnership with the BIG3 basketball league enlisted Gravity Jack to conceptualize and develop the Rav4 for 4 mobile app. Showcased at halftime of BIG3 games, the Rav4 for 4 app leveraged augmented reality to display both consumer insights into the Rav4 as well as a unique basketball-themed gaming experience.
The experience equipped users with an iPad and encouraged them to walk around the exterior and explore the interior new Rav4 to trigger exclusive AR content that highlighted the vehicle’s features. After learning about the car’s features, users unlocked a mini basketball game that was played in AR space. Celebrating the release of the Rav4, users raced against the clock to see how many not 3, but 4 pointers they could make before time ran out! The end result was a perfect blend of education and entertainment that brought the Toyota and BIG3 brands together.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
The marketing agency NCOMPASS approached Gravity Jack seeking a team capable of leading a project that combined the newly formed partnership between Toyota and the BIG3 Basketball league into one unique experience. Additionally, the experience was to be used during halftime of the BIG3 games and encourage attendees to interact with Toyota’s new Rav4 SUV. Gravity Jack’s solution was to create an augmented reality experience that places unique markers all along the exterior and interior of the vehicle. Using Apple’s iPad, users would scan the markers to prompt AR text that gives users insights to the Rav4’s consumer features.
Once the user completed exploring the car’s features, the app prompted a Toyota and BIG3 branded mini basketball game that was played within an augmented reality scene. Using their finger on the iPad, users would pull the basketball back and release it to launch a shot. The AR game featured a shot clock, scoreboard, and an exclusive 4-point shot to celebrate the release of the Rav4. Competing against their attendees of the BIG3 game, users would race against the clock to see how many 4-pointers they could make in a single session. In the end, the Rav4 for 4 was a great example of how the power of AR can be harnessed for any type of occasion.
