LSD rocks the table soccer tournament of the packaging design agencies

Clear the ring for team SNOOPERS! At the table soccer tournament “Kick Off” of the packaging design agencies in Hamburg, the LSD team showed what it could do in terms of speed and skill. 31 teams took up the challenge and competed against each other. All their physical effort was required to get the ball into the opponent’s goal. In the end, the SNOOPERS took 4th and 5th place. Besides lots of fun and action, LSD as main sponsor raffled a superb WEBER gas grill among all the guests. It was great to combine the real game world with the digital one. At the booth, the guests were kidnapped into the virtual world and experienced Augmented Reality live.

snoopstar at Mintel's Europaen Roadshow

At Mintel’s European roadshow, snoopstar proves that augmented reality is capable of reconnecting consumers and brands. AR is a real-time information courier. And it’s much more! It’s the bridge between the analog and digital world, between offline and online, that opens up completely new dimensions of interaction and communication. As a kind of “animatrice social” it provides direct contact with the environment and things. This promises not only unheard-of, vivid experiences, but also new – and emotional – bonds. We invite visitors to step into augmented reality live at our snoopstar booth. Discover how AR opens windows on our mobile displays to the really relevant information. Scan (i.e. “snoop”) objects with your smartphone camera and experience how brands and companies succeed, for example, in expanding customer “journeys” by bringing products to life with virtual elements such as moving images, animations, 3D, video and audio clips. Immerse yourself in a beautiful new world.
