Palo Alto, Calif. – April 18, 2019 – It seems augmented reality is everywhere these days, from furniture catalogs to restaurant menus and beyond. Small wonder, really, as it takes advantage of both print’s reassuring tactile quality and the digital world’s near limitless capacity for invention and information. But what exactly IS augmented reality and how can you effectively introduce it into your design and marketing work right now?
“What makes AR such a game changer is its ability to engage audiences in different ways over time,” says Sarah Mannone, executive vice president at the tech-driven creative services agency Trekk. “By creating content experiences that supplement print collateral, direct mail, packaging and more, you can create memorable, meaningful, and measurable interactions that increase audience response.”
In a free, exclusive PaperSpecs webinar, Sarah will not only explain how augmented reality works, but will also give you the information you need to get started with creating your own AR projects right away. She’ll even walk you through a successful AR-print campaign from start to finish.
“This isn’t the first time a technology has promised to bridge the gap between print and digital, so designers have been rightfully skeptical about it initially,” admits PaperSpecs Founder Sabine Lenz. “But we’ve seen some really amazing examples of augmented reality in the last few years – enough to say that you have to learn the basics of AR if you want to remain relevant as a designer or marketer. Fortunately, I can’t think of a better guide to this exciting new world than Sarah and Trekk.”
