Unique Instagram experience for Vancouver Christmas Market visitors to explore
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 22, 2022 / ePlay Digital Inc. (CSE:EPY)(OTC:EPYFF)(FSE:2NY2) (the "Company") today announced a new partnership that features augmented reality Instagram filters developed by ePlay Digital at this year's Vancouver Christmas Market. Tickets to the Market are now available. Users launch the augmented reality experience by scanning QR codes posted on large on-site sign boards with a mobile device. Users will explore traditional Christmas stories with advanced 3D that will automatically launch them into the metaverse. Users take photos and videos to share with friends.
"We are thrilled to augment the experience of The Vancouver Christmas Market this year with some high-tech magic," says Patrick Carnegie, Director - Patron Services at Vancouver Christmas Market. "Working with ePlay Digital and Instagram to bring holiday-themed 3D augmented reality to our guests is exciting."
According to centuries-old tradition, many German towns host Christkindlmarkts in December. Residents take the opportunity to enjoy each other's company, sample local delicacies, shop for gifts, and share holiday cheer. Each year, the Vancouver Christmas Market brings this festive Old World tradition to Vancouver.
"Vancouver is second only to the Bay Area / Silicon Valley and a recognized leader in the world's AR/VR ecosystem," says Dan Burgar, CEO of Frontier Collective. "The Vancouver Christmas Market is a favorite local tradition that elevates the visitor experience with augmented reality developed by a Vancouver company."
ePlay Digital's Klocked World Platform delivers immersive, Real-Time 3D (RT3D), and Augmented Reality (AR) sports and entertainment metaverse experiences.
"We are thrilled to work with such a local high profile event," says Trevor Doeksen, CEO of ePlay Digital. "The vision for the augmented reality experience is all thanks to Vancouver Christmas Market and I'm thrilled we could execute."
