Diesel’s VERT Watch: A Virtual-Real Hybrid for the Digital Generation

In 2023, Diesel’s creative director Glenn Martens introduced VERT, a VR-designed watch tailored for those seamlessly shifting between digital and physical realms.

A standout feature of the event was the interactive connection between Diesel store visitors and online players. Using sensor cameras, retail participants embodied Giants, engaging in mini-games that impacted the virtual environment in real time. Their cooperation enabled online players to advance through the experience, ultimately unveiling the VERT watch.

The grand finale took place in the heart of a virtual pyramid, where players enjoyed an interactive concert featuring Lil Dre’s premiere track—brought to life through advanced 3D depth-camera technology.
