What will Augmented Reality bring to brands?

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Augmented reality demostrates the ability for industrials not only to conceive complex technologies but also to make them accessible and intuitive for customers. Brands are getting to use it more and more in order to diversify their communication.

But what is exactly “augmented reality(AR) and in which way should it be used?

As its name says it all, augmented reality combines  real and virtual world. It defines a physical real-world environment whose elements are augmented by virtual computer-generated imagery. With this technology, the information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally usable. After starting on computers, AR navigation has now arrived on mobiles.

Doing a solid for the brand next door.

Ok, I’ll admit it, the country put up a royal goose egg in the first quarter of 2009. While we could get into the various reasons and various excuses, I think it’s more important to look at what to do next, not just as Americans but as Marketing leaders. While Obama has repeatedly appealed to individuals – open doors for other etc – I happen to think he needs to be appealing to the Marketers to help the slumping brands of the world. Before you send me an angry email, I happen to believe that helping the guy next door is also very important. In fact, since the recession began, my company has instituted an open door policy for industry pros who have been displaced by circumstance. It has been a wonderful experience but believe it or not as Marketers we may be able to do even more.
