At the Albert Heijn you now collect Tech pictures. You then use it in the AH Tech app to program your own robot. That is how it works.
AH Tech: program a robot with pictures
Albert Heijn increasingly has collectibles that are not only fun, but also educational. This also includes special apps, such as previously the AH Vegetable Garden or AH Dino’s app. This month is all about technology with AH Tech.
This promotion is held in collaboration with the NEMO science museum. Children can get all kinds of information about technological innovations in a collection book and via YouTube videos. Most important, however, is the digital robot Techie in the AH Tech app.
Who is Techie?
The AH Tech app introduces you to Techie, the face of this new savings campaign. It is a robot that you can program yourself. Techie puts you in the real world via augmented reality, so you can take photos and videos. You can also take a selfie in the app, so Techie wears your face.
How do the pictures work?
You use AH Tech by pressing the scan button in the app and pointing your camera at a Tech image. Techie then appears above the picture. By tapping on ‘Continue’ you can program Techie. That means that you move blocks of code, causing Techie to perform actions such as dance moves in a sequence you determine. Then press ‘Continue’ and scan the image again.
Until when can the pictures be collected?
With every ten euros worth of groceries in the Albert Heijn you get a Tech plate. These will be distributed up to and including Sunday 1 July. In total there are 160 different pictures, so that’s a lot of messages. However, the twenty augmented reality images are enough to use the app.
You can download the AH Techie app for free in the App Store via the link below.
