Google Search – 360º iPad Unit

360º interactive DoubleClick unit

To expand the reach of the Google Search App and encourage downloads of the iPad version, we created an interactive unit that utilized the iPad’s gyroscope and accelerometer.

Users were presented with a 360º image of the Georgia Aquarium (Atlanta) and invited to move their iPad around them to view the full scene. As they did, Google microphones appeared to reveal an interesting/fun question and answer for the user to discover. In doing so this showcased the functionality and utility of the Google Search App.
