A Vision in Gold: A New Benchmark in Brand Storytelling

In the world of premium technology, the details make the masterpiece. Last week, we at Reinventico were tasked with launching the new Zeiss DuraVision Gold UV lens coating—a product defined by its microscopic, yet powerful, attributes. The challenge was to create a spectacle that was not only memorable but also true to the product’s core tenets of precision and clarity.

Our solution was an electrifying fusion of human artistry and interactive technology: a live stage performance where the world-renowned Skeleton Dance Crew didn’t just dance in front of a screen, but appeared to control, manipulate, and battle with the digital world itself.

The Stage: A Gateway to the Digital Lens

Forget architectural mapping; this was about creating a focused, intimate, and mind-bending experience. The entire performance unfolded on a stage, anchored by a massive, high-resolution LED screen. This screen wasn’t just a backdrop; it was the entire universe of the performance, a digital gateway into the very fabric of a Zeiss lens.

As the lights dimmed, two members of Skeleton Dance Crew emerged, clad in futuristic suits with glowing accents. They wielded staffs of light, becoming conductors of the digital orchestra that was about to unfold.

The Performance: A Duel with Light and Physics

The narrative, designed by Reinventico, took the audience on a journey through the features of the DuraVision Gold UV coating. The Skeleton Dance Crew acted as the protagonists, using their choreography and light staffs to interact with a giant, hyper-realistic lens projected on the screen.

• Forging the Lens: The show began with the performers using their staffs to draw a circle of light in the air. This circle solidified on screen, transforming into a pristine, spinning eyeglass lens. It was a powerful opening that immediately established the connection between the performers and their digital environment.
• The Durability Gauntlet: To showcase the lens’s toughness, the on-screen lens was bombarded with sharp, scratching visual effects. The dancers engaged in a stunning display of defensive choreography, their staffs glowing red as they parried each digital blow. With every block, the on-screen scratch would vanish, proving the lens was “More than tough enough.”
• Commanding the Elements: The performance seamlessly transitioned to demonstrate the lens’s hydrophobic and oleophobic qualities. Animated water droplets and smudges appeared on the giant lens. The crew performed a fluid, wiping motion, and with perfect synchronization, the digital droplets and dirt slid off the lens, leaving it immaculate under the tagline, “Easy to Clean. Hard to get Dirty.”
• Banishing the Dust: In one of the most creative sequences, the word “DUST” appeared on screen, with particles flocking to the lens. The dancers performed a powerful, percussive routine that seemed to generate a shockwave, blasting the particles away as the on-screen text changed to “Dust. No more.”
• Revealing Clarity: The finale was a masterclass in visual storytelling. The performers danced around the lens as a beautiful flower bloomed within it, symbolizing the “Fewer reflections, More clarity” promise. The show culminated in the word “GOLD” appearing in fiery letters before resolving into the full product name.

The Technology: A Seamless Man-Machine Interface

The magic of this event was in the flawless synchronization. This was not pre-rendered animation; it was a live, interactive system. Reinventico’s technical team engineered a bespoke solution using advanced motion sensors and real-time graphics rendering. Every swing of the light staffs and every movement by the dancers was tracked and fed into the graphics engine, allowing the on-screen visuals to react instantaneously. This created a perfect illusion that the Skeleton Dance Crew had genuine control over the digital world, blurring the lines between the physical performer and the virtual product.

A New Paradigm for Product Launches

This launch event created a powerful and lasting impression on the audience of key channel partners, optometrists, and media. By moving away from a large-scale architectural projection to a focused, interactive stage performance, we were able to create a more intimate and detailed narrative. The audience didn’t just see the features listed; they saw them demonstrated in a dynamic, artistic, and unforgettable way.

This is the future of experiential marketing—not just creating a spectacle, but creating a story that the audience can step into. For Zeiss DuraVision Gold, we didn’t just list the features; we made them the hero of an epic tale.
