What is Augmented Reality (AR)?

Augmented reality is an interactive experience that combines a view of the real world with computer generated elements delivered to a device in real-time.  Recent technology developments have enabled this experience to be delivered to most Smartphones without the need of a custom app or extra hardware devices. 

A user no longer needs Google Glass or Microsoft Hololens to experience digital augmentation of the world around them.  Remember the Pokemon Go craze where players would locate characters on the sidewalk, a park or even your house?  Yes?  That was augmented reality!  We'll continue to explore other facets  of AR but that should help with the basic concept of the technology.

Augmented Reality is no longer available only to the few and mighty companies.  AR is becoming more democratized and ontARget AR is here to provide AR solutions to a variety of industries and all shapes and sizes.

Let's face it, that static content or video you think your existing and potential customers are watching, no longer is interesting to them. A static content post on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, other social media platforms and even websites is on the verge of being archaic. The new way of interacting with your customer is here and it is AR. Over 70% of consumers who were given an AR experience vs a static content experience had greater cognitive retention of the AR experience. 

Simply put, AR captivates your audience to provide a differentiated memorable experience that drives business results.
