An example would be a simulated walk through a virtual 3D castle. Contrarily, <strong>augmented reality (AR) brings artificial elements to a real environment<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AR layers virtual objects onto users\u2019 reality &#8211; think of Snapchat or Messenger photo filters. Both technologies allow you to design interactions with the virtual world, or virtual elements in the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"885\" src=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/instafiltr-1024x885.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/instafiltr-1024x885.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/instafiltr-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/instafiltr-768x664.jpg 768w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/instafiltr.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>We all know the concept of face filters.

Otherwise we won\u2019t be writing this extensive guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a> for marketing campaigns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/us\/en\/pages\/deloitte-private\/articles\/technology-trends-middle-market-companies-survey.html?id=us:2el:3pr:dgestech16:awa:dges:081816:r\">Deloitte<\/a>, more than 90% of companies with $100+ million annual revenue leverage AR and VR in their marketing efforts. But how can we be sure they are not just pumping money into the most recent, \u201ccoolest\u201d technologies available?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, we can\u2019t be sure &#8211; many of their campaigns have probably flushed the AR-dedicated money down the toilet by only using it as a trendy, novel element. However, if AR is applied in a smart, well thought-through way, it can greatly <strong>boost your campaign\u2019s interactivity, creativity, and immersiveness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ar2_1363459.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ar2_1363459.jpg 960w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ar2_1363459-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ar2_1363459-768x508.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption>AR has many different applications in marketing.

To back this up with numbers, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedrum.com\/opinion\/2018\/03\/29\/three-things-marketers-should-know-about-adopting-augmented-reality\">2018 study<\/a> found a 20+% increase in <strong>interaction rates<\/strong> and a 33% increase in <strong>click-through rates <\/strong>when AR was part of a communication campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What types of AR experiences should you consider?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When using AR in your marketing campaign, you can really make the most out of your team\u2019s creativity. The chance to create new virtual elements and bring them to the real world opens up an <strong>endless amount of possibilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you should try to sort your team\u2019s ideas for interactive AR experiences into <strong>three main categories<\/strong>.

This type of AR is all about <strong>virtual objects becoming part of the real world<\/strong>, and usually also interacting with our reality.

We will talk more about this project at the very end of this guide.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For Kofola, we <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/game-developers-london\/\">developed a game<\/a> which challenges users to catch virtual <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/our-work\/penozrouti\/\">Foam Eaters<\/a> flying around the real environment after scanning the logo of the company. The Universal project was all about bringing the famous dancing and finger-snapping hand to life after pointing the phone at the DVD of the <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/our-work\/addams-family\/\">Addams Family<\/a> movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A world effect might be <strong>marker-based<\/strong> or <strong>surface-based<\/strong>. The former means that the virtual object is bound to a specific point in the real 3D environment. The example below shows an effect which is tied to the wine bottle label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Living Wine Labels AR (Augmented Reality) APP: 19 Crimes\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nsyBsqX7Gso?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrarily, a surface-based world effect means the virtual object or creature is moving on a specific surface, such as a table or the floor. The video below shows an Australian toy store\u2019s campaign activating young visitors with an AR-based Easter Egg Hunt. By scanning the game stickers found on the floor, children could \u201csummon\u201d virtual animals that were then running around them on a specific surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lWc2kMvd5lQ&#038;feature=youtu.be\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, world effects are perfect for <strong>designing a gamified experience<\/strong> for your target group. They allow you to get really creative, design your own playful virtual elements and bring them to life with varying levels of interactivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, in 2018, Google Maps introduced virtual companions guiding you from A to B in a playful manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/augmented-reality-google-maps-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/augmented-reality-google-maps-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/augmented-reality-google-maps-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/augmented-reality-google-maps-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/augmented-reality-google-maps.jpg 1271w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A fox navigating you from A to B with Google Maps.

One of the most well-known examples is <strong>L\u2019Or\u00e9al\u2019s MakeUp Genius app<\/strong> from 2014 which offered a super-convenient try-on of most of the brand\u2019s products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"L&#039;Or\u00e9al Paris - MakeUp Genius - Case study\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R5OnjiDa71s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we are most familiar with face filters, other applications might be developed too.

Let\u2019s talk tech now! You will need to answer two main questions: What <strong>platform<\/strong> is most suitable for your <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a> plans? And what is the ideal <strong>AR experience trigger<\/strong> for your campaign?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing the right platform<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your AR experience can be web browser-, app-, or social media-based.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When deciding which of these options is the most suitable for your campaign, you should consider the <strong>communication touch points<\/strong> you are planning to introduce, the <strong>technological capabilities<\/strong> of your target audience, the <strong>time and place<\/strong> where people will most likely be confronted with your AR elements, and the <strong>way they should interact<\/strong> with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WebAR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The term WebAR describes AR experiences that are accessible through a <strong>common mobile web browser<\/strong>, without the need to download and install any special app. In our opinion, this technology is a game-changer in the field of AR marketing as it diminishes one of the main barriers to interacting with AR elements of a campaign &#8211; the fact that <strong>people hate downloading new apps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WebAR - Richer advertising using AR ad units\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IeXBBIiKs6Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although opting for WebAR inevitably brings certain technological limitations, you will still be able to get creative with simple animations, videos, basic interactivity, and target image detection. A great tool for web-based <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a> is the 8thWall SDK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">App AR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the app approach will untie the hands of your creative team. You will still be limited by the current technological advancements of AR but your <strong>possibilities will get much broader<\/strong> compared to WebAR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/maxresdefault-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/maxresdefault-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/maxresdefault-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/maxresdefault-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/maxresdefault-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>IKEA created one of the most well-known AR apps &#8211; IKEA Place.

Do you think that AR might spice things up nicely but you don\u2019t want to make it one of your fundamental tactics and spend too much resources on <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you might want to go for a custom camera filter.

What is the best way of intertwining the AR element with the rest of your campaign?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve already covered, world effects can be either <strong>marker-based<\/strong> (locked to a specific point in the real environment), or <strong>surface-based<\/strong> (moving along a detected surface in the real environment). This should be mainly based on the practicalities of the target use situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how should the AR experiences start? What will be the turn on button?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many AR campaigns use <strong>image-tracking<\/strong>. The experience is triggered once the user captures a specific element in the real environment. Mind that this doesn\u2019t need to be a QR code, it can also be your product, for instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"511\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Basic-workflow-of-an-AR-application-using-fiducial-marker-tracking_Q640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Basic-workflow-of-an-AR-application-using-fiducial-marker-tracking_Q640.jpg 511w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Basic-workflow-of-an-AR-application-using-fiducial-marker-tracking_Q640-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Basic-workflow-of-an-AR-application-using-fiducial-marker-tracking_Q640-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Basic-workflow-of-an-AR-application-using-fiducial-marker-tracking_Q640-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><figcaption>Part of a typical image-tracking AR workflow.

Don\u2019t rely on novelty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, AR is still a very cool technology with great potential for creativity. But it is <strong>far from new<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a> part of your plan will not instantly make your campaign innovative and effective. You will need to figure out <strong>how to integrate AR in your campaign<\/strong> in the smartest way possible. The main goal is to create meaningful connections between you and the target audience, and to generate strong brand engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Don\u2019t jump right into <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you get a solid <strong>understanding of the technology and its capabilities and limitations<\/strong> before you delve into designing and developing your AR experiences. You will avoid wasted resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading this extensive guide is a good starting point but you should definitely invest more time and effort into <strong>acquiring a good overview of all the different approaches and AR technologies<\/strong> available. Or at least reach out to experts who will give you good advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Don\u2019t divert attention away from your message<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AR is a very captivating and immersive technology. It might very well take all the precious attention of your target audience away from the core of your campaign. Make sure you prevent that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your AR campaign elements should be in line with the main message that you want to convey. <strong>The AR shouldn\u2019t create too much of a wow effect<\/strong> &#8211; this means that your target audience shouldn\u2019t be so amazed by your use of AR technology that they cannot process your communication. Make sure it\u2019s still about the message, not the medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Don\u2019t be inauthentic or antisocial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your brand personality is traditional and serious, creating a fun AR experience will most likely be a terrible move. Don\u2019t use the technology in a way which doesn\u2019t <strong>correspond with your target audience<\/strong> and the <strong>nature of your brand<\/strong> and product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you carefully consider the sharing options and other social prompts as part of your <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a>. This technology has a great potential for encouraging people to share your content. Make the most out of it by <strong>designing the AR experiences as social<\/strong> from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Don\u2019t build AR experiences for the latest iPhones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This pitfall is especially relevant if you decide to build an AR app. Sure, your creative team can come up with truly breathtaking concepts if you\u2019re working with an app. However, it is crucial to <strong>consider the performance of your target audience\u2019s phones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your app and the AR experiences it offers are <strong>inclusive<\/strong>. This means that all (or at least 98%) of your target segment can run the app and enjoy the AR interaction without any technical issues. <strong>Otherwise you will make people disappointed<\/strong>, or perhaps even annoyed and mad, which is certainly not what your marketing goals are, right?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is this the perfect time to make use of AR?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you still hesitating to invest in <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a>? These are the <strong>three main reasons<\/strong> why we are convinced that this is the perfect time to make AR part of your marketing campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Increasing expectations of your target audience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The constant battle for attention is getting increasingly tough in the world of marketing. A well-resonating core message is often not enough. A compelling storyline also doesn\u2019t always do the trick, neither does precise and original creative execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>People seek meaningful, immersive interactions <\/strong>with brands. Offer your target audience mutual engagement, an innovative, unexpected exchange of ideas and actions via an emerging technology &#8211; AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Better performance of their phones and browsers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AR technology has been with us for many years already. However, it wasn\u2019t until recently when the performance of an average smartphone reached a level which allows you to truly leverage the full potential of <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR in your campaign<\/a>. <strong>Better performing smartphones unlocked all abilities<\/strong> of <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/app-development-agency-london\/\">AR apps<\/a> for marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same goes for web-based AR. Browsers now enable much better quality and speed of AR effects &#8211; and these are two key conditions of effective <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">design and development of AR<\/a> experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WebAR makes AR so much more convenient<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a long time, the necessity of downloading and installing a new app just for the purpose of a one-time AR interaction with a brand\u2019s campaign was a deal-breaker for many companies. And it made all the sense in the world. <strong>People generally tend to avoid downloading new apps<\/strong> as much as they can &#8211; the incentive for installing it would need to be very large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, a hero arrived to save the show &#8211; WebAR, especially its current possibilities, are a great alternative to AR apps. Without asking your target audience to go through the hassle of downloading an app, this technology still allows you to come up with very creative concepts boosting the interactivity and engagement of your campaign. Moreover, the <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a> process is<strong> simpler, faster and cheaper<\/strong> if you opt for a web-based solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step-by-step guide to implementing AR in your campaign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s summarize the key decision points you will need to go through when implementing AR in your campaign. Here\u2019s our overview of the process of <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development for marketing<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Is AR for you?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no shame in answering \u201cno\u201d to this crucial question. Although AR has already proven itself in a variety of conditions, it still remains a <strong>rather fun, loosen-up technology<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you carefully consider if the use of AR goes well with your brand identity, and whether or not it will facilitate a meaningful interaction and connection between the brand and the campaign\u2019s target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Concept creation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most creative step of the journey. Ideally, the concept for your AR experiences should <strong>come from the overall campaign idea<\/strong>, not the other way around.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get together with your creative team and come up with an engaging concept suitable for a technology which allows you to bring virtual objects and places to the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Interactions and content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So you already have your creative concept, great! Now let\u2019s design all interactions a user will have with the AR experience. What will they be able to do, and how? Make sure the interactions are <strong>not too complicated<\/strong>, and that the whole AR experience is <strong>easily shareable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what exactly will be the content of your AR experience? Beautifully crafted virtual objects work the best of course but you should be realistic in terms of scope and quality even before you get to the next point of our process &#8211; working with the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a key phase of every campaign planning. First and foremost, you should decide with your team on the <strong>most comfortable budget zone<\/strong> &#8211; the resources you are willing to allocate to <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a> while taking into account the creative concept you came up with and the added value it will bring to the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The total cost of <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a> will depend on <strong>a number of factors<\/strong>: the type of the AR experience, the quality and number of models, the type and length of animations, and the type of interactions. These factors can always be adjusted based on your optimal budget zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To give you an idea of the cost of <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a>, let\u2019s take a look at these <strong>three general indications<\/strong>: A custom face filter will cost you \u00a33.000+, a more creative AR experience will range between \u00a35.000 and \u00a310.000, and a very complex AR app such as a mini-game will require \u00a310.000+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Finding the right partners for AR development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another very important part of your journey. Make sure you <strong>find skilled and experienced professionals<\/strong> who will not only conduct your <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a> but will also <strong>guide you<\/strong> through the whole process and advise you to <strong>pick the most suitable solution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/app-development-agency-london\/\">app developers from London<\/a> have the skills and experience needed to create beautiful AR experiences, both app-based and with WebAR. If you are interested in teaming up, or if you just want to ask a couple of questions regarding the potential of AR for your campaign, don\u2019t hesitate to <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/contact\/\">contact us<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Ideal solution &#8211; technology, platform, and dev. process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If done successfully, step 5 will also ensure that you succeed with step 6. In other words, your <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a> partner should ideally advise you on the most suitable technology, platform, and development process for your particular project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Things to consider<\/strong> here include whether the AR experience will be app-, web-, or social media-based, if the trigger will be an image- or location-tracker, and if your world effects will be surface- or marker-based. We covered all of these dilemmas in the sections above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Implement, test &amp; launch!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, that\u2019s it, you are ready to bring your first AR baby to life! The demandingness of the process of <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a> might vary according to the complexity of your AR experiences and other factors too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you enjoy the whole journey towards the end product. But before you run the campaign and share your AR experiences with the world, <strong>test everything thoroughly<\/strong> &#8211; every detail matters with AR!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a> case studies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations, after reading this elaborate guide to AR marketing, you can consider yourself an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s wrap things up with two of our AR case studies to demonstrate that we are also experts on <a href=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/ar-development\/\">AR development<\/a> for marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Universal Pictures: WebAR for Addams Family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Universal was looking for a partner to offer the fans of Addams Family an extra dose of engagement with the show. The <strong>new animated movie<\/strong> was about to be released on DVD. The goal was to offer people a <strong>convenient, easy-to-trigger interaction<\/strong> with this new product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"883\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ar-campaign-addams-883x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ar-campaign-addams-883x1024.png 883w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ar-campaign-addams-259x300.png 259w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ar-campaign-addams-768x891.png 768w, https:\/\/WASH & CUT HAIR SALOON LIMITED.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ar-campaign-addams.png 1090w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 883px) 100vw, 883px\" \/><figcaption>&#8220;The Thing&#8221; dancing to the Addams Family theme song &#8211; picture of an AR experience designed and developed by us.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The chosen virtual element was the show\u2019s character \u201cThe Thing\u201d which we made dancing to the popular theme song of the Addams family. First, we needed to <strong>design the interactions and content<\/strong>, and <strong>decide on the trigger and ending<\/strong> of the AR experience.

We used the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.8thwall.com\/\">8thWall<\/a> technology for <strong>WebAR<\/strong> which offers great image-tracking quality. After playing the AR animation, users were invited to join the movie\u2019s community on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although this AR experience was a rather minor element of the overall campaign for the launch of the DVD, it resonated very well with the target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kofola: The Foam Eaters 2 AR game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We teamed up with advertising agency WMC|Grey to create a summer campaign for a beverage brand which is best known as the \u201cCzech Coca-Cola\u201d.
