McDonald's Sweden is launching a promotion that invites kids to turn Happy Meal boxes into virtual-reality viewers. Dubbed Happy Goggles, some 3,500 of them will be made available at 14 restaurants over the weekends of March 5 and March 12. The price is about $4.10.

The push is tied to the Swedish "Sportlov" recreational holiday, during which many families go skiing. With this in mind, McD's created a ski-themed VR game, "Slope Stars," for use with the oggles (though they work just as well with any mobile VR experience). The game can also be played in a less immersive fashion without them.

To turn the iconic red boxes into Happy Goggles, just tear along some perforated lines and fold, inserting the VR lenses (included) and a smartphone (bring your own).

(First trial run in Sweden)

This is the game that comes with it (Smartphone)

McGoggles

 

[Zaptruder]

Google Cardboard is a great toy like experience.

Even as your first and only way to experience VR, it's still a pretty compelling experience.

Best is to jump into Google Streetview and tour the world via Google's extensive 360 streetview panoramas.

It's not serious enough to really be proper VR... but it's still pretty interesting and compelling in its own right!

It's the European McDonald's mascot thingmy... Creepy. Strangely not used in the UK for marketing.

 

[RazielCuts]

Yeah but how much is it? I won't pay anything over $599.

 

[KooopaKid]

Now THIS is the future. The kids will have the time of their lives.

It's like that time where everybody was making their own pc. I love it. Time to start collecting and become a vr historian in like 20 years.

Not any less nightmare inducing than Ronald McDonald.

Hopefully nobody gets grease in their eyes.
Or is that intended? 4D?

They would have to rough up his teeth a bit to use him in the UK.

 

[baddvision]

interesting ... cant decided if its a good or bad thing

 

[BluePikmin11]

Interesting idea, I want to see footage of this as soon as possible.

 

[Acquiescence]

That's one way to get spots all over your face.

 

[coughlanio]

I never really understood the hatred for McDonalds? It's almost like Supersize Me came out and everyone jumped on the bandwagon.

 

[More_Badass]

Well, that's one way to ease the mainstream public into VR.

It's actually pretty smart

There was an exclusive Spotpass Puzzle with Mario and this mofo in Germany. Luckily I was able to delete the respective files from my SD card when I had catched this disease.

I have always liked McDonalds....I will stop there if I am feeling lazy on the way home from work and need something quick. The first post mentioning throwing up the food, although probably just trying to be funny, had me kind of baffled as well. I don't actually know anyone who says their food is gross. Most people I know say it is a guilty pleasure.

The VR thing is pretty cool. I thought Google Cardboard was a great way to show people some cool stuff you could do, this could be interesting as well.
