Project Overview

ProductTube is an innovative market research platform that enables consumers to earn rewards by creating short video reviews of products they use in everyday life. The platform bridges the gap between brands and real consumers by collecting authentic, real-world feedback through video content and augmented reality (AR) experiences. Brands gain deeper insights into product usage patterns, user behavior, and improvement opportunities. We delivered a cross-platform AR-enabled solution by integrating Unity into native mobile applications while ensuring scalability and seamless performance.
