Alcatel IDOL 4 BOOM Taxi is a portable VR booth

Alcatel IDOL 4 BOOM Taxi is a new campaign showcasing the power of virtual reality across the UK… all in the back of a taxi.

Alcatel is embarking on a roadshow marketing campaign where people can get a fresh taste of VR. The demo suite is installed in the back of a Hackney Carriage and will provide people with a hands-on demonstration using the IDOL 4. This will be combined with 360 sound and additional visuals to create a more ‘unique’ experience.
