The unique initiative aspires to use advanced technologies to unravel boundless imagination among kids through the “Fantasy Spaceship,” a bus equipped with expansive interactive screens that will travel to schools across India. Powered by a combination of cutting-edge technology, it transforms children’s hand-drawn designs into vibrant digital creations, preserving their original charm. Once scanned, their artwork will be digitally transformed into 3D interactive characters, displayed on large touch enabled screens inside the Fantasy Spaceship.
The campaign will start in Bangalore and will be rolled out nationally soon. With this new initiative, the brand’s mission is to ignite the ‘Imagination’ of kids across the country. By blending art, science and technology the program is designed to create an immersive space experience for children across India as they watch their imagination turn into reality. To add a magical twist, Sunfeast Dark Fantasy unveiled a grand giveaway during the event, offering select children the chance to visit NASA, witnessing their dreams come to life in the world of real-space exploration.
