Sensape systems interact e.g. with high performance displays in store windows and communicate advertising content e.g. through augmented reality technology. Their interactive store window learns how to recognize people of different age groups, which led to quite a fuss.

One can find sharefoods products inside 5.000 Rewe and dm stores. “At share we produce high-quality products for you and together with you we change the world.
