SUMMARY

SUMMARY

SUMMARY

Over the course of 3 weeks, we were asked to prototype a pop-up branded experience that expressed the brand rather than generate revenue. Within this short amount of time, we went through the process of doing client research, ideation and prototyping. We created a semi-virtual experience to deliver the brand image to the user.

The Concept

From our initial brand research, we learned that Doordash is all about community engagement and empowering local businesses. From this insight, we wanted to build an experience that allows the user to appreciate their locality and the community and allow them to experience Doordash's key feature: delivery.


With this in mind we decided to build a Semi-AR experience where users get to sit in a location with a view of their neighborhood. This allows them to truly feel localized while ordering their food. They understand the context behind each restaurant while looking at where it is located in the city.

  1. Pavilion Discovery and using the VR Binoculars for discovering Restaurants: Users find pavilions located in areas that have a view over the city. They’re very low-key, and they are sought after by users.

    After finding the pavilion, they look through the attached VR telescope, in which they see a virtual recreation of Pittsburgh. They look over different restaurants and learn about the stories behind the shop as well.

  1. Ordering and Waiting for the Food: After finding a restaurant they like, the user pulls down a lever and has a QR code to scan. This takes them to a mobile order page that lets them order online from that restaurant. As visitors wait for their food to arrive, they can look through the telescope to take a look at the driver’s progress.Visitors can switch between a top-down view and a forward-facing view that tracks the driver by shifting the lever.

RESEARCH

Before we got to our final idea, we first did an in depth study of the brand. We created a 16 page document to analyzing the audience, KPIs, history, current brand strategies and other indicators to understand the brand. We spoke to a lot of Doordash users to understand their perception of the brand as well.

After doing research, we went through the process of moodboarding to give direction to our project. We explored what this pop-up experience can look like by researching a wide variety of immersive experiences that are already out there.
