CONCEPT:

The relationship between India & Pakistan is a complicated one. There is hardly

any communication between the two countries, even though the only thing

separating them is religion. Coca-Cola created machines in India & Pakistan that

were connected to each other and allowed people from each side to interact.


3D Touch Screen Technology base High-tech vending machines installed

in two popular shopping malls in Lahore, Pakistan and New Delhi, India.

Invited consumers to put their differences aside and share a simple

moment over a Coke.

People from both countries and various walks of life were encouraged to

complete a friendly task together – wave, touch hands, draw a peace sign

or dance – before sharing a Coca-Cola.

The “Small World Machines” provided a live communications portal

linking strangers in two nations divided by more than just borders, with

the hope of provoking a small moment of happiness and promoting

cultural understanding around the world

………the very moments were captured


Surprises- Mirror Impacts & Images

Jackie Jantos Tulloch, Project

Leader, compares the live relay

experience to looking into a

webcam, face-to-face with another

person. “Your actions are literally

mirrored,” she explains. “By adding

a touch screen, it allowed us to play

interactive animations, so people

could trace things like a heart or

smiley face together.”

Thoughts divides,Value unites.


RESULT:2 million views

Interaction has always been key in virtualization. However, thanks totechnology, we can now push interaction a little bit further. Here the simpleinteraction between the 2 machines, plus the nice narration makes thisidea extremely efficient.

Its not Coca Cola Story, its bigger profound story about the connectednessof the world.

Social and cultural tension exist around the world, exist for selfish reasons.


Social and cultural tension exist around the world, exist for selfish reasons.
