Holiday Gift Cards With Personality? Thanks to Total Immersion Partners Credelis Media Group And Ad-Dispatch, Just Add AR

Just in time for Santa, Canada’s Ad-Dispatch, Miami-based Credelis Media Group, Inc. and Total Immersion, the global leader in augmented reality (AR), have come up with a way to add a personal touch to that most impersonal of holiday gifts — the gift card.

Now, gift card buyers can easily attach a special video message to a gift card. With the AR app – developed by Credelis and Ad-Dispatch using Total Immersion’s D’Fusion software – gift cards come alive, conveying messages that go beyond the face value of the card.  Ad-Dispatch and Credelis are members of Total Immersion’s North American Partner network, the world’s largest network dedicated to augmented reality.

For the gift card buyer, the experience is as simple as uploading or recording a video message and entering the recipient’s information.  It’s just as easy to receive as to give: all the recipient needs to do is open a website, display the gift card to a webcam and then watch as the gift card plays the personalized message.
