Korean beauty brand Innisfree China, known for its natural ingredients, has come up with a fresh idea to promote its new store in Shanghai Disneyland.

Using the “Jeju flying bike”, it is offering customers a virtual visit to the company’s home base of Jeju Island. They mount the bike and put on VR goggles for the journey, created by PostVisual.

They “fly” from the 16.5 sqm store to the 1650 sqkm island, which is a Unesco World Heritage Site for its volcanic landscape. Through eye-tracking technology, the virtual tourists can fly around the island and “collect” natural ingredients such as canola blooms, green tea leaves and nutmeg.

To create the 360deg aerial and underwater surroundings, PostVisual spent about three months producing the content, even building its own VR drone camera in-house.

Thousands of visitors have already taken the virtual ride, and the concept will be rolled out this year to flagship stores in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore and Vietnam as well as elsewhere in the US.
