The well-known retailer John Lewis has teamed up with MPC Creative to create two VR experiences of the loved and viral advertisement "Buster the Boxer".

MPC Creative has created two VR experiences, one for Google Cardboard and one for the general public to try out in the retailer's store on Oxford Street.

People who decide to go to the fourth floor of the John Lewis store on Oxford Street will find a garden themed area, a 'fake' trampoline, and Buster the Boxer merchandise.

People who go on the trampoline will wear an Oculus Rift which is fitted with a Leap Motion detector, and this communicates with a Kinect which is opposite to detect where the user's hands are. The player can then control the badger, foxes, hedgehog, and squirrel. There's only one set up so there will more than likely be a queue, though.

There's also a more low-tech VR demo that is available for people at home on YouTube, that will work with Google Cardboard. You can find the VR experience here.

Do you want to jump on a trampoline like Buster the Boxer? Let us know in the comments.
