VIDEO – ImagineAR $IP.ca Makes Augmented Reality History With Broward Education Foundation, Flo Rida and Dwyane Wade Delivering Diplomas To Graduates Via #AR $VST.ca $YDX.ca $NTAR.ca

If you don’t know what Augmented Reality (AR) is, this quote from Apple CEO Tim Cook is all the motivation you need to get up to speed:  

“AR Will play an important role in how we use technology in the future – and promises to be as influential in our society as the smart phone”  

    AR is essentially a technology that lays digital images and graphics over the real world.    

As the name implies, ImagineAR (IP:CSE) (IPNFF:OTCQB) is an Augmented Reality Company that enables businesses to create their own mobile phone AR campaigns with no programming or technology experience.  More than just lip service, the Company recently announced a partnership with the Broward Education Foundation to create #2020gradsecret – an immersive augmented reality (AR) mobile experience for students graduating from Broward County Public School.  

Using the free ImagineAR app, grads are recording themselves in their homes accepting diplomas from Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie, joining international music superstar Flo Rida for a congratulatory message or dancing with either one of them-and instantly sharing the videos on social media.  Adding in a congratulatory message is NBA superstar Dwyane Wayde.  

Flo Rida stated “This futuristic ImagineAR augmented reality technology is a trip” “I’m happy to help these graduates define a new way of celebrating and social interaction as they move on to the next chapter in their young lives.”  

How well is this Augmented Reality Diploma experience working out so far?  Pejay Ryan, director of marketing for Broward Education Foundation said “The feedback has been off the hook.  It is going to blow your mind.”

That quote is just the tip of the iceberg.  Watch what Ryan has to say about why they selected ImagineAR and how “the sky is the limit on other applications”.   

ImagineAR (IP:CSE) is the Augmented Reality company that allows small cap investors to participate in the growth of the space, which IP says is projected to grow ~ 2,000% in the next 4 years …. that is not a typo!

ImagineAR has already started commercializing their mobile Augmented Reality Platform with clients that include:

  • NBA Sacramento Kings
  • Mall Of America
  • AT&T Shape
  • Basketball Hall Of Fame
  • ….. more

As a result, ImagineAR is now well positioned to further commercialize and capitalize on massive demand for Augmented Reality.  

If our interview with CEO Alen Paul Silverrstieen and Pejay Ryan is any indication, it sounds like the Company’s growth into the education / graduation business is all but assured in 2020 and well beyond.

Superintendent Robert Runcie and Music Superstar #FloRida Celebrate Broward County Public High Schools Graduates with Imagine AR $IP.ca Mobile Augmented Reality

  • Broward Education Foundation unveils “#2020gradsecret” with history-making AR technology that includes a special message from NBA legend Dwyane Wade
  • teamed up with ImagineAR Inc. (CSE: IP) (OTCQB: IPNFF) to create #2020gradsecret – an immersive augmented reality (AR) mobile experience for students graduating from Broward County Public Schools
  • Using the free ImagineAR app, grads are recording themselves in their homes accepting diplomas from Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie, joining international music superstar Flo Rida for a congratulatory message or dancing with either one of them-and instantly sharing the videos on social media

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla, June 15, 2020 - Broward Education Foundation teamed up with ImagineAR Inc. (CSE: IP) (OTCQB: IPNFF) to create #2020gradsecret – an immersive augmented reality (AR) mobile experience for students graduating from Broward County Public Schools. Using the free ImagineAR app, grads are recording themselves in their homes accepting diplomas from Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie, joining international music superstar Flo Rida for a congratulatory message or dancing with either one of them-and instantly sharing the videos on social media. The interactive AR videos make it appear that Superintendent Runcie and Flo Rida are inside the graduate’s actual home. This AR experience has never been done before and is truly groundbreaking.  

“This futuristic ImagineAR augmented reality technology is a trip,” said Flo Rida. “I’m happy to help these graduates define a new way of celebrating and social interaction as they move on to the next chapter in their young lives.”

“In these unprecedented times of quarantining and social distancing, Broward Education Foundation wanted to make the Class of 2020’s graduation a very special and memorable experience,” said Shea Ciriago, executive director of Broward Education Foundation. “Keeping the #2020gradsecret launch under wraps for a month and a half has been a challenge because our grads are making history!”

An AR industry leader, ImagineAR’s advanced technology and free mobile app allows students to move, talk and interact with AR images of Superintendent Runcie and Flo Rida. The AR experiences are geo-targeted only to Broward County and grads choose from four customizable interactive experiences.

“ImagineAR’s mobile app allows graduates to view and record their own diploma presentation using AR. It literally looks like the Superintendent or Flo Rida are right next to these graduates, whether they’re in their living rooms, back yards or anywhere,” said Alen Paul Silverrstieen, CEO and president of ImagineAR. “We were thrilled to partner with Broward Education Foundation to bring this immersive technology to life- for the first-time ever and- for Broward’s graduating seniors.”

In addition to the custom immersive experiences, using the ImagineAR app, grads can point their phones at the #2020gradsecret social media sign to launch a very special video message from NBA legend and longtime Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade. Each of the more than 18,000 graduating seniors received a special Class of 2020 sign with their cap and gown packages, courtesy of Broward Education Foundation’s legacy partner and longtime supporter BrightStar Credit Union.

Dustin Jacobs, VP of marketing for BrightStar Credit Union said “Graduating from high school is an important right-of-passage. It’s very exciting to help Broward’s seniors experience it a whole new way.”

Metro Group Miami CEO Bruno Dede also has a long-standing relationship with Broward Education Foundation and stated “When the Foundation placed an order for graduation banners, we started brainstorming about social media signs and a lightbulb went off. I immediately connected them with ImagineAR, Flo Rida and Dwyane Wade.”

“Bruno set the wheels in motion and we ran with it,” said Pejay Ryan, director of marketing for Broward Education Foundation. “Since something like this has never, ever been done before, we created our own AR launch roadmap. We designed social media signs, QR codes, 2020gradsecret.com website, instructions, and crafted scripts and copy. With the help of the great team at BECON, we directed and shot the green screen footage of Mr. Runcie and Flo Rida for the AR content available only in Broward County with the ImagineAR app.”

Broward County Public Schools graduates are encouraged to post their videos on social media tagging their school and #2020GradSecret. One student in each of the four AR experience categories will be awarded $200 from Broward Education Foundation in a “who did it best” contest.

“When Broward Education Foundation proposed this idea that would allow students to video themselves receiving their diploma and more, in their own homes, it occurred to me how truly great things are often born from challenging situations,” said Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie. “This technology is mind-blowing. Thank you to Broward Education Foundation, ImagineAR, BrightStar Credit Union, MetroGroup Miami and Think First Consulting Group for making the #2020gradsecret a reality.”

About Broward Education Foundation:
The nonprofit Broward Education Foundation aligns with Broward County Public Schools by providing grants for teachers who develop innovative curriculum that increases student outcomes; vitally needed school supplies for students and teachers in Title I schools; scholarships for qualified high school seniors; and support for programs and initiatives like Debate, Scholastic Chess, TurnAround Arts, STEM and more.  Each year, Broward Education Foundation contributes more than $3 million to Broward County schools, serving as the catalyst for educational excellence.

Coronavirus Pandemic Brings New Use Cases for Augmented Reality

An Israeli medical center is using Microsoft HoloLens wearable technology to help teach health-care workers how to operate ventilators

By: Sara Castellanos

Sheba Medical Center in Israel and broadband provider Cox Communications Inc. are among several organizations that have found new uses for augmented reality during the coronavirus pandemic, and they plan to continue using the data-visualization technology beyond the crisis.

“It’s a revolutionary tool,” said Amitai Ziv, director of Sheba Medical Center’s Rehabilitation Hospital and founder of MSR – The Israel Center for Medical Simulation. “We believe we can do a lot with it.”

Augmented reality superimposes digital content, such as 3-D images or visual instructions, onto a user’s view of the real world. This can be done through mobile devices and wearable headsets such as Microsoft Corp. ’s HoloLens.

Companies for several years have been experimenting with early versions of the technology to design objects such as automobiles and to receive step-by-step manufacturing instructions. The pandemic has increased those use cases to include remote assistance and training because employees and customers are less willing to be in close contact, said J.P. Gownder, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research Inc.

Since March, Sheba Medical Center has used five HoloLens 2 headsets to train about 60 physicians, biomedical engineers and nurses on how to operate ventilators for Covid-19 patients, said Ravid Segal, chief technology officer of the MSR – The Israel Center for Medical Simulation, located at Sheba Medical Center. The HoloLens headset uses computer processing and optical projection systems to create digital hologram-like objects that users can see and interact with in their real environment.

In the Sheba Medical Center scenario, medical workers wearing the headset can see a hologram-like rendering of a ventilator superimposed on their real-world view. The headset includes built-in instructions that guide the worker through the process of operating the physical ventilator in front of them. The headset can also be used as a way for doctors in other parts of the hospital to give remote assistance without needing to be physically present but still being able to see what is happening in a patient’s room. Users wearing the headset can connect to a real-time video feed of a doctor in a separate wing of the hospital, which is displayed to the user as a digital image floating in the real-world room. The doctor, using either a HoloLens headset or a mobile device, can also see what the user is seeing in real time.

Before the pandemic, the medical center had already planned to explore the use of augmented reality this year, said Eyal Zimlichman, chief innovation officer at Sheba Medical Center. “With Covid, it reinforced our decision [to use augmented reality] and the understanding that this is a critical tool in health care,” Dr. Zimlichman said.

Microsoft has seen a 13-fold increase in remote assistance usage on HoloLens 2 since January, largely because of social-distancing and lockdown requirements amid the pandemic, said Charlie Han, principal program manager for Microsoft HoloLens.

The number of U.S. employees expected to wear augmented and so-called mixed reality headsets is projected to reach 8.6 million by 2028, up from 25,000 in 2019, according to a November 2019 report by Forrester.

The research firm refers to the virtual overlay of hologram-like, interactive objects onto a user’s view of the real world as “mixed reality,” while the term “augmented reality” refers to static images superimposed onto a user’s view of the real world.

Enterprise adoption of the technology could accelerate in the coming years as companies realize the value of the technology, meaning the forecast could change, Forrester’s Mr. Gownder said. “We have seen a huge increase in enterprise interest in augmented and mixed reality during the pandemic,” he said in an email.

Broadband internet company Cox Communications in March rolled out augmented reality technology to its workforce of more than 5,000 people including home technicians and contractors. “It’s absolutely essential to how we’re operating,” said Len Barlik, chief operations officer. Customers who need help installing internet service, plugging in a modem or setting up WiFi and passwords receive an email or text message with a link to start a virtual call through a software program from Alabama-based technology company Help Lightning Inc.

When customers click on the link using a phone or tablet with a built-in camera, a technician can talk them through the set-up process while being able to see what the customer is seeing. The technician can “draw” a circle or arrow around a particular object, such as a cable, that the customer will be able to see.

Technicians normally have to go inside customers’ homes to perform such service or troubleshooting requests, but the pandemic and social-distancing requirements have prevented that from happening in various states, Mr. Barlik said.

Cox had explored the idea of using the technology in customer service experiments before this year, but the pandemic accelerated the use case for it, Mr. Barlik said.

The Help Lightning technology is currently available only for residential customers but will continue to be used after the pandemic subsides and could be expanded to business customers, he said. Servicing customers via augmented reality can save the company money and time that would otherwise be spent on driving from house to house, Mr. Barlik said. “We’ll definitely continue to utilize it,” he said.

Help Lightning saw 435% growth in customers using its technology to conduct thousands of calls related to remote assistance between February and April because of the pandemic, said Gary York, chief executive of the company.

8 Important Marketing Trends to Watch #AR – SPONSOR: Imagine AR $IP.ca $SEV.ca $VST.ca $YDX.ca $NTAR.ca

8 Important Marketing Trends to Watch

  • In the coming years, it is expected that augmented reality will be surpassing virtual reality, eventually booming into a $198 billion industry by 2025
  • Marketers can leverage augmented reality to highlight promotions in real-time as well as simulate a shopping experience remotely
  • With just a smartphone, people can be transformed into a digital experience that can be leveraged for commerce, education, and more

By: Jared Polites

The digital marketing industry is constantly evolving as consumer habits and demands shift with the release of new technologies. For the first time ever, mobile advertising dominated web advertising, controlling nearly 75% of all ad spend. Not only is mobile where most people spend most of their time, but it is also where they purchase most of their digital purchases. This trend should only increase as smartphone and credit card penetration rates increase across the developing world.

For the global marketing industry and entrepreneurs, data and automation will continue to be an important piece of the puzzle and should be a core area of focus for business owners. Below is a full list of marketing trends to keep your eye on.

1. Influencer Authenticity

Content demands across the consumer landscape have shifted to wanting a more personal and authentic interaction with both brands and influencers. In fact, 58% of people have bought a new product in the past six months because of an influencer’s recommendation. With Instagram on the verge of removing likes, the influencer market will need to focus more on authenticity and product-market fit. This should increase the level of quality in the content provided.

2. Video Content

Video content is now the holy grail of content marketing. Stories, as seen on Instagram and Facebook, have single-handedly crushed competitors such as Snap. Given the vertical distribution of content and commerce on these platforms, creators and brands can leverage Stories to interact and sell. This also gives advertisers the ability to market “live” within these segments. Researchers have also shown that people spend most of their time watching live videos as compared to pre-recorded ones. So the implication of that in marketing is something we can see in 2020.

3. VR and Augmented Reality

Virtual and augmented reality have emerged in recent years. In the coming years, it is expected that augmented reality will be surpassing virtual reality, eventually booming into a $198 billion industry by 2025. Marketers can leverage augmented reality to highlight promotions in real-time as well as simulate a shopping experience remotely. With just a smartphone, people can be transformed into a digital experience that can be leveraged for commerce, education, and more.

4. Google Ads Smart Bidding

Recommended For You Webcast, June 8th: How to Generate Revenue Now

Google Ads smart bidding entails the process of using machine learning and contextual signals to make smart recommendations that will enhance Google ad profitability. Various strategies include enhanced CPC (cost-per-click) and conversion maximization. Companies need to make sure their marketing strategies and goals align with smart bidding. In some cases, manual management could be more effective. Keep an eye on smart bidding in 2020 as more companies explore this feature.

5. Proprietary Tech

To date, only, only 23% of businesses have incorporated Artificial Intelligence (AI) into processes and product/service offerings. Most studies have found that the larger a business is, the more likely they have integrated some form of AI. As costs and accessibility to AI become lower, AI continues making its way into more marketing products in 2020.

6. Voice Search

Within the last year, 60% of people have started to use voice search. While privacy is still an underlying concern, voice search is accurate and convenient. These stats should grow as consumers and marketers find ways of interacting organically in various voice forms. We should expect to see various apps and enhancements being built on top of leading IOT and voice search devices in the near future.

7. Mobile E-Learning

The sad reality is that over 71% of workers are not actively engaged in their jobs. To increase this engagement, companies can implement various marketing and technology such as gamification applications. The goal is to create a sense of community and purpose within your organization. Mobile learning has been proven to increase retention and adult learning, so it should be utilized when possible.

8. Social Impact Marketing

As CSR programs continue to become more important, companies will find ways of integrating these initiatives into their existing marketing efforts. As seen with companies like TOMS, social impact marketing and for-profit operations are not mutually exclusive. You should think about ways to integrate social impact activities into your existing business plan to align impact and profit. Doing this will help build a stronger following and brand loyalty.

While not fully comprehensive, these marketing trends should continue and become more prominent in 2020.
