2021 is another month down, and with Spring creeping in, we’re casting our eye over the last few weeks in the world of AR. 

With lockdowns lifting and tightening the world over, creative applications of AR are ever-present. Less footfall on the street means more augmenting within the home. More time for new hobbies means more people learning to augment their creations. More pressure on business means finding more creative ways to reach the people who’ll find a product valuable. 

Take a look at what the month of March had in store:

The Zappar Creative Studio team teamed up with Nestle to deliver an experience centered around their Koko Krunch breakfast cereal. The AR experience is unlocked by scanning the cereal boxes, revealing a series of interactive games, including karaoke. Koko Krunch AR brings added value to the breakfast table, with fun games and shareable videos that kids and parents can enjoy together.

 

AR for Packaging: Telia - Valio Rahka Pots

 

 

Objective: To provide more info about Valio products and help them stand out on the shelves

Zapworks user Telia worked with Valio to bring the world of augmented reality to their Rahka product line. By scanning the pots, customers get access to a wealth of information, including recipes and craft ideas. Not only do these little augmented pots make snack time more interesting, but they also help the products to stand out on supermarket shelves by inspiring potential customers with recipes before they’ve even made it to the checkout.

AR for Print: FlyAR - Virtual Office Tour

 

Objective: To increase brand awareness and familiarity

While real-life office tours may be off the cards right now, agency FlyAR found a creative solution. Using 3D animated visuals and image tracking, they created an AR office tour that even featured members of the team in animated form.
