Escapade Media is unveiling its innovative AI-powered Revealit TV platform at Mipcom, the premier international content market in Cannes. This platform, launching in Australia, allows viewers to engage with on-screen content through apps featuring virtual try-ons and voice interfaces, providing a shoppable, interactive experience and opening new monetization channels for content creators.

The introduction of Revealit TV could have significant implications in the U.S. market, where the integration of AI-driven features into mainstream broadcasting has the potential to transform viewer engagement and advertising models. By enabling instant product purchases and unlocking exclusive content directly from the screen, this platform could redefine how U.S. audiences interact with media and open lucrative revenue streams in digital advertising and e-commerce.
