Overview
Kroger’s "The Magical Cookbook" ad is one of the most genuine and touching Holiday commercials of the past few years, winning over customers (and advertisers) instantly.
As a leading Augmented Reality specialist, INDE was tasked with translating "The Magical Cookbook" experience into a modern in-store customer engagement in multiple Kroger and Fred Meyer stores across Portland, Columbus and Atlanta.
HeroMirror was the perfect fit for Kroger’s brief, so INDE's Augmented Reality studio created a series of Augmented Reality experiences that allow holiday shoppers to meet and interact with their favourite Krojis onsite and share their unique experiences on social media.
Experience
Using the original Kroji characters designed by César Pelizer and Hornet, INDE's AR content team created a custom Augmented Reality mirror experience providing the most engaging 3D animated in-store brand experience possible.
Immediately after interacting with the Krojis, users receive and can share their branded photos and videos on social media.
Each HeroMirror Augmented Reality photo booth is designed to engage customers intuitively, without the need for staff to assist each user.
