Image of the week

It’s time to show another example of challenging queries as they are recognized by our system – it’s time for the image of the week. This week featuring an example from a mobile marketing campaign we are currently running. Since XIPAX featured a kooaba project as Mobile Marketing campaign of the week in their newsletter, we decided to pick a snapshot from our interactive spring promotion with Selecta:
This photo was recently sent to us by one of the participants:
…and matched correctly to the reference image of Kägi-fret (a DELICIOUS wafer speciality covered with finest Swiss milk chocolate).
Selecta engages consumers in a new way
April 20th, 2009 by Marc
Today, we launched an interactive spring promotion for Selecta, Europe’s market leader in vending services. The promotion is featured at thousands of vending machines throughout Switzerland.
Users are asked to snap a picture of their favorite product using the camera of their mobile phone and send it to kooaba. Upon recognition of the product in the picture, participants will receive a confirmation message related to their favorite product. Participation is further sweetened with the possibility to win a brand new white Peugeot 207.
Besides driving sales, this campaign also let consumers engage intensely with Selecta’s offering and the offered brands by taking a picture of their favorite products. We’d like to show you some of the incoming photos we’ve received today (all of them recognized correctly btw.).
The campaign is run via MMS and email channels and multilingual in French, German and Italian.

The image of this week illustrates a perfect use of kooaba to get movie information on the go: it seems like someone from Germany wanted to get additional information about “Radio Rock Revolution” on his iPhone before he decided to watch the movie in the cinema.
You can do it too. Just download kooaba Search for iPhone and snap a picture of the movie poster to get additional information about it. It’s fun!
