This project represented a complete overhaul to the TeenDrive experiential marketing program, which Toyota set up several years ago to show teens the potential consequences of texting or talking on their phones while driving. The VR experience, built with the Unity game engine and an Oculus Rift DK1 with a functioning steering wheel and foot pedals within a Toyota Corolla, was one component in the campaign that included social media tips, video testimonials, and a pledge for teens and parents committed to safe driving. Though the VR campaign is not currently running, you can learn more about the program here: http://www.toyota.com/teendrive365/
