Mumbai: Britannia, one of India’s leading foods and beverages companies in collaboration with its innovative partner agency, Mindshare, is proud to announce a groundbreaking advancement in Brand Experience with the introduction of India’s first AI-powered Mixed Reality Smartphone Camera. The cutting-edge technology is built by Flam, an AI-powered mixed-reality content platform for marketing. This innovative platform opens up a world of engaging experiential advertisement and user-generated content for forward-thinking brands.

With this innovative campaign, consumers will be able to scan the QR code on their smartphones leading to experiencing a video from Ranveer Singh within their smartphone camera experience. On scanning, the static image comes alive with a video that delivers the message that Britannia NutriChoice Digestive biscuit is the only digestive biscuit made with 100 per cent atta and zero per cent Maida*. This breakthrough experience will also soon be available at several retail touch points for consumers to experience, in addition to the print advertisement.

At the core of this pioneering campaign lies an AI-powered mixed reality camera, seamlessly integrated with an instant app activated via QR codes. The Britannia NutriChoice campaign showcases unparalleled capabilities with an intuitive and compelling user experience. Utilising image tracking in 3D space, the camera employs feature points to generate immersive mixed-reality 3D content, delivering a captivating experience. With an impressive operating speed of 60 frames per second, the camera ensures smooth video playback, even during image translation or rotation. Powering this technology is the visual transformer, a deep-learning AI model engineered for similarity matching and image recognition.
