Enhancing Your Print Materials with Augmented Reality
Augmented reality (AR) has been popping up everywhere recently - from apps and in-store displays to TV shows and magazine ads. This new technology may seem a bit confusing at first, but you’ve probably seen or used some form of AR without even realizing it. For example, Snapchat, a multimedia messaging app, has ‘filters’ which are a form of AR that overlay digital designs onto the user or real-world surroundings. The Pokemon Go gaming app uses AR to project Pokemon characters into the environment around users with the objective to find and ‘capture’ them on their phone. When the Weather Channel shows digital overlays of extreme weather events, like flooding and hurricanes, they’re using a form of AR as well.
