Tell The World About Your Augmented Content
Use Icons To Show Augmented Reality Capabilities
Augmented reality icon usage helps people understand that AR content is available to them, whether it is in a newspaper, magazine, website, or even in a public place. For instance, an augmented reality icon on a wall may alert someone to the fact that more data can be found using a smartphone equipped with a camera. Using the right tools, an entire hidden world can be made visible to the person who focuses the camera on the icon and becomes privy to the information behind it. If you have read newspaper ads and seen some of the icons embedded in the text, you already have come across a visible representation of this phenomenon. When AR icons are combined with location data or visual imagery from your smartphone or device, then you may get information from pricing, menus, wait times, historic events, games, or like-minded AR enthusiasts who use the same spaces. Augmented reality icon use in print ads often gives you access to specials or memberships not available to the luddites who use standard phone technology. .
Notes and Special Information
Special note: A standard AR icon may not be available for some time, so it may be necessary to use several until a dominant one takes hold.
