Cultural / Context information for the jury

Working Class: There are 2.2 Million blue collar workers in the UAE, forming 52% of the workforce and playing a critical role in the country. However, often their hard work is unappreciated. Royal Figures: Traditionally, heroes and royal figures in the region are honored through public portraits and figures. This idea sparked the insight and breakthrough campaign initiative – what if we hacked The Dubai Frame, the biggest frame in the world, to feature these mechanics workers and appreciate them for their work in a way that no one has done before.

Please outline the innovative elements of the work.

Traditionally, heroes and royal figures in the region are honored through public portraits and figures. This idea sparked the insight and breakthrough campaign initiative – what if we hacked The Dubai Frame, the biggest frame in the world, to feature these mechanics workers and appreciate them for their work in a way that no one has done before. Through the use of augmented reality, we made this possible and honored seven mechanic workers with the biggest public portraits in the world.
