Spectacle lenses manufacturer HOYA presents reversed VR

Energize develops the new B2B campaign for HOYA Vision Care and inspires people to see the world from a different angle.


Summary
A life without barriers? HOYA, which manufactures products including spectacle lenses, specialises in producing lenses that are so thin and light people hardly notice they are wearing glasses. As a result you can have an almost unlimited view of the world and literally look around 360º without barriers. This insight was the springboard for the creation of the campaign and the visual language that in many ways resembles the shape of the eye. The visual language also stands at the basis of other communications for HOYA that we use to let viewers experience the everyday beauty of the world around them. The brand film and the communications are aimed primarily at opticians and optometrists Europe-wide and will also be incorporated into the product brochures, in-store materials and DM.

The campaign has been developed in association with Made.For.Digital director Tom Titulaer and photographer Alek Bruessing. Many challenges had to be overcome in order to be able to use the new ‘Tiny Planets’ technology in high resolution. This technology, which is actually reversed VR, is used occasionally, but rarely in this exceptionally high quality. And this top quality is naturally essential for a spectacle lenses manufacturer. A number of different cameras were used especially for the production of the film so it could be montaged image by image to create the full 360˚. The technological challenge consequently lay in the final montage.
