"We had to integrate different levels of viewer engagement," yellowBird's Marc Groothelm explains. "The ability to look around in a 360-degree video, a guide explaining the design features of IKEA's products and the different layers of rich media content provide the viewer with the ability to gain in-depth information about the actual products.
