Infrastructure | Metro Tunnel AR Experience

Santa's Big Workshop

From 2019-2020 Upstride partnered with the Metro Tunnel Creative Program to bring Victoria’s Big Build Metro Tunnel project to life.

We designed and executed a comprehensive marketing strategy and collaborated with PHORIA to develop an innovative augmented reality (AR) experience to get Melbournians in the festive spirit

What we did

Our strategy centred on leveraging immersive technology to create a memorable public engagement experience. We turned the Metro Tunnel’s acoustic shed at Federation Square into a Christmas wonderland using AR technology.

AR Experience Development

‍Collaborated with PHORIA to create an AR activation where the construction site shed was reimagined as Santa’s Big Workshop.

Interactive Treasure Hunt

‍Designed a virtual treasure hunt that allowed visitors, both young and old, to help Santa and his elves prepare for Christmas.

Festive Transformation

‍The acoustic shed was transformed into a vibrant, interactive space filled with animations and sensory elements.

RESULTS

‍

The AR activation successfully engaged Melbourne residents, transforming the Metro Tunnel site into a festive attraction. The experience delighted visitors and offered a unique way to appreciate the changes happening in Melbourne while celebrating the holiday season.
