Interactive product packaging is taken to the next level with Third Aurora's talking packaging prototype, which is a concept that allows consumers to chat directly with a bottle of wine and get replies from a Siri-like voice. The concept relies on a variety of technologies, including artificial intelligence, language processing and cloud data, and for the sake of demonstration, Third Aurora added a virtual chatbot character, although this character does not normally appear during interactions.
Although the proof-of-concept has been applied to wine bottles, it has the potential to be used across a range of other products and applications in the sectors of manufacturing, health, education and beyond. This solution is incredibly relevant, especially at a time when consumers and retailers are looking for solutions to help reduce interactions between people.
