Spinifex Group and Tool of North America were engaged by Mullen Lowe (US) and their client Acura to produce a one of a kind experience at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.

The experience was to reflect the Acura NSX SH-AWD technology, a system so intuitive, it not only reads the road, but senses the will of the driver.

Design direction was led by Bradley G Munkowitz (GMUNK) at Tool of North America, with software and hardware integration performed by Spinifex Group.

Acura Mood Roads is a unique project in that it utilises brainwave reading devices and dozens of biometric inputs, along with a spherical motion simulator to produce a tailored experience based on the users thoughts, mood and emotion.

The real-time 3D world is generated based on the users biometric data, and with the participants mood and emotion manipulated by the visual response of the world being generated, the dynamic music soundscape, and the anticipation and feeling of the forces exerted by the motion simulator, an emotional feedback loop is generated, heightening the experience.

The project has since appeared at the 2017 Silicon Valley Comic-Con.
