Client Background
Oakley, a leading brand in performance eyewear and sports innovation, sought to showcase the next evolution of its Plazma 2.0 sunglasses. Designed for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts, the Plazma 2.0 blends cutting-edge materials with Oakley’s signature aesthetics. To complement this release, Oakley needed an interactive, motion-driven experience that highlighted the product’s dynamic form, technical features, and seamless adaptability to high-performance environments.

Challenge
The key challenge was to create an engaging and interactive product demo that effectively conveyed the Plazma 2.0’s unique design and functionality. Traditional static product showcases wouldn't capture the fluidity, flexibility, and lightweight feel that define Oakley’s brand. Additionally, the experience had to be highly immersive and intuitive, ensuring that users could seamlessly explore the eyewear’s details while maintaining a sleek and modern brand presence.

Solution
Leveraging Rive, an advanced real-time animation tool, I designed a fully interactive motion experience that brought the Plazma 2.0 to life. The demo utilized state machines and dynamic transitions, allowing users to interact with the sunglasses in a way that felt smooth, natural, and engaging.

The design approach focused on:

• Fluid motion graphics to showcase the eyewear’s flexibility and ergonomic fit.
• Real-time interactivity that allowed users to explore different angles and features dynamically.
• A high-performance UI/UX design that aligned with Oakley’s modern, athletic aesthetic.
• Optimized animations for web and mobile, ensuring seamless engagement across all devices.

Results
The Oakley Plazma 2.0 Rive Demo successfully elevated the product’s digital showcase, reinforcing Oakley’s reputation for innovation and performance-driven design. The interactive experience provided a compelling, hands-on feel for users, driving deeper engagement and interest in the Plazma 2.0.

This project highlights how motion design, UX, and real-time interactivity can transform product showcases, creating memorable digital experiences that connect users with brands on a more immersive level.
