Describing the innovative features within the blipp, Cheena Jain, Blippar's US Creative Lead, said: 'We were able to add a lot of detail within the blipp to allow users to enter a dimensional world. The two features we are very excited about are the Shake It Up and Mix It Up portions. Giving the user the ability to shake their phone like a cocktail shaker to reveal a recipe is an innovative way to highlight the overall concept and add fun, but also presents recipes in a refreshing way. Using the bottle as a gateway to District Perrier was a great opportunity, and the various audio segments really help bring the concept to life even more. These little details matter significantly.'
