When a viewer watches content augmented by Charmboard, the viewer can tap his or her finger on the video or click with any pointing device to interact with a character or location, or discover a product without intruding on the immersive nature of the video content.
Last month, it was reported that Zee Entertainment acquired about 12.5 percent stake in Tagos by investing USD 2.5 million.
