Learn how new AR technology can help grow your business.
For the first time we will get an understanding on how Augmented Reality (AR) will change our daily lives. Google Lens and The New York Times will be working together to show readers the story behind the story with each week’s new print edition. This technology will bring the cover and pages to life and provide deeper context into the topics that you care about. The way that this technology will work is easy. By simply opening the app on your cellphone and pointing the camera at the printed pages an abundance of additional digital content will be unlocked.
With Google’s AR app, called Google Lens, users can hover over the magazine and experience audio, video, and even animated content. This will essentially merge two different media forms that have, since now, been traditionally at odds with each other. Since the creation of the internet, digital media has disrupted the old traditional print media. Now we are seeing a revolution on how both media forms can be joined and work together to bring new forms of content to the reader.
Think of the all the new opportunities this will create for businesses who are smart enough to embrace this new tech. A big advantage will be the ability to shop what you see. Google explains that if you like a piece of furniture of pair of shoes all you need to do is Lens it to learn more and discover similar styles. Obviously, this will integrate with the Google Ads platform and allow advertisers the ability to make their products available to Google Lens users. As the Google Lens user base grows, this new ecosystem will provide third party companies the ability to create products and services suited to the AR market. The opportunities to profit from AR could be endless.
