A year of many FIRSTs!
The Smbhav film used the Unreal Engine to blend real-life footage with a virtual camera, allowing for some impressive scene changes and movements in fictional settings. A 10-year-old playing hopscotch became a metaphor for Amazon’s journey in India.
The Experience Zone included an interactive wall showcasing Amazon's 10-year journey in India, a VR tour of an Amazon Fulfillment Center, a generative AI-based personal digital assistant called 'Amazon सह-AI', projects by 6 future engineers, and Amazon Johari - a cutting-edge solution that employs machine vision technology.
A captivating musical performance by Tushar Lall and The India Jam Project reimagined sounds from Amazon India’s universe, weaving them into a performance track that acted as the catalyst for the Smbhav anthem.
