It's been an action-packed month here at Zappar with our Zapworks partners creating exciting marketing experiences in both the retail and food and drinks industry. Meanwhile, the Zappar Creative Studio team have also been hard at work with an amazing AR experience for Robinsons focused on minimising single-use plastic and encouraging outdoor activities.

Not to mention we have also had some amazing wins with two new shiny Auggie Awards and most importantly our newest piece of tech Zapvision, designed to help improve the lives of 100s of millions of people and be an essential part of a more inclusive and accessible society.
