Augmented reality involves layering visual information on top of existing physical reality. Whether through mobile apps, head-mounted displays (HMDs); head-up displays (HUDs); retinal displays, or haptic sensors, AR provides experiences that are changing the way media is consumed and distributed. From the hit game ‘Pokemon Go’ to the forthcoming Magic Leap platform, the lure of AR involves geolocation information and real objects in a transformative way. Lower-cost hardware and the first holographic projection systems offer producers new ways to deliver advertising, viral stories, and special venue content.
The AR industry has evolved from Will Wright’s ‘The Sims’ to companies such as Blippar, which enables smartphones users to recognize images and layer content on top of objects, and Atheer, which delivers a mobile 3D platform.
This session will feature leading producers in the AR field, who will discuss the opportunities available for creative technologists and production companies in AR.
