Blippar

Blippar is a UK-based company specialised in augmented reality, extended reality, artificial intelligence and computer vision. Founded in 2011, it develops tools and services for creating, publishing and sharing AR experiences, including the Blippbuilder platform, WebAR SDK and AR creative-studio activities for brands, agencies, developers and creators. Within the packaging system, it primarily operates as a design, consulting and digital-communication actor: it does not manufacture physical packaging, but enables packaging to become an augmented, interactive and data-driven interface. Its relevance concerns the communicative and digital dimensions of the extended packaging system: the pack can become a visual trigger for immersive content, storytelling, instructions for use, promotions, gamification, recycling education, product information and post-purchase relationships. The classification includes Packaging Solutions, Materials and Machinery only in a digital-functional sense, as Blippar provides software technologies applicable to connected packaging, not materials or machinery. The case foregrounds design trade-offs between engagement, accessibility, data collection, technological obsolescence, digital energy use and actual informational value.
Blippar è una società britannica specializzata in augmented reality, extended reality, artificial intelligence e computer vision. Fondata nel 2011, sviluppa strumenti e servizi per creare, pubblicare e condividere esperienze AR, tra cui la piattaforma Blippbuilder, WebAR SDK e attività di AR creative studio per brand, agenzie, sviluppatori e creator. Nel packaging system opera principalmente come attore di design, consulenza e comunicazione digitale: non produce imballaggi fisici, ma abilita la trasformazione del packaging in interfaccia aumentata, interattiva e data-driven. La sua rilevanza riguarda la dimensione comunicativa e digitale dell’extended packaging system: il pack può diventare trigger visivo per contenuti immersivi, storytelling, istruzioni d’uso, promozioni, gamification, educazione al riciclo, informazioni di prodotto e relazione post-acquisto. La classificazione include Packaging Solutions, Materials and Machinery solo in senso digitale-funzionale, perché fornisce tecnologie software applicabili al packaging connesso, non materiali o macchinari. Il caso evidenzia trade-off tra engagement, accessibilità, raccolta dati, obsolescenza tecnologica, energia digitale e reale utilità informativa.
