The initiative launched in Brazil to promote Doritos Sweet Chili is a good example of a augmented reality moving in the right direction. The idea is simple: on each package of the snack consumer find and augmented reality symbol, a code that can be activated at www.doritos.com.br, releasing a Doritos Lover, a 3D toy-art-inspired-monster. The Lovers should then be freed and added to their owners profiles at Orkut, the most popular social network in Brasil, as a special app. It is also possible to take pictures, create birth certificates or leave the monsters out for adoption, in case the owner is not very fond of his new "baby". Already 23.000 lovers have been released among the 18.000.000.000.000 possible combinations of Doritos Lovers. |
