  • Advises investors it has been put on notice by a major North American sports & entertainment company (“NASEC”) that a contract is imminent
  • Given the size of the NASEC and potential time necessary between our recent notification and actual completion of an agreement, ImagineAR felt this is sufficiently material news that warrants immediate disclose to our shareholders, even before the formal contract is awarded

VANCOUVER, BC and ERIE, Pa., July 27, 2020 – ImagineAR Inc. (CSE: IP) (OTC: IPNFF) (“ImagineAR” or “Company”) an Augmented Reality Company that enables sports teams, businesses, retailers and organizations to instantly create their own AR mobile campaigns, wishes to advise investors it has been put on notice by a major North American sports & entertainment company (“NASEC”) that a contract is imminent.

As with all large commercial contracts, the Company wants to clearly state there is a risk this deal may not close and cannot yet provide any assurances that it will close.  However, ImagineAR is of the opinion that all major hurdles have been dealt with and the path is now clear to contract. Given the size of the NASEC and potential time necessary between our recent notification and actual completion of an agreement, ImagineAR felt this is sufficiently material news that warrants immediate disclose to our shareholders, even before the formal contract is awarded.

Alen Paul Silverrstieen stated “We are taking the extraordinary step of advising our shareholders of an imminent material agreement with NASEC because we now expect it to be formalized in short order. I want to emphasize that no formal agreement has been executed and that we cannot provide any potential dates for or assurances of completion.”  

DISCUSSIONS WITH MAJOR BRANDS AND RETAILERS FOR AUGMENTED REALITY SOLUTIONS TO ENGAGE AND ACTIVATE CONSUMERS

ImagineAR is taking this opportunity to advise shareholders that we are in various stages of discussions with several major brands and retailers, which recognize the important role our Company’s augmented reality solution can play in delivering both consumer engagement and activation during this unprecedented time. Though none of these discussions have risen to the imminent status of NASEC, the Company can confirm that some are at advanced discussion stages.

Essential Steps For Any Business To Prepare For Augmented Reality

By: Michael Campbell Forbes Councils Member

EVP and General Manager of Augmented Reality at PTC, driving the commercial, product and technology strategy of the Vuforia business.

  • Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that transforms how information is captured, managed and communicated, both within a business and with its prospects and customers
  • It can significantly improve the way a business conducts collaborative engineering design reviews, sales and marketing, field service, skills transfer and manufacturing

However, AR’s transformative nature may make it hard to make decisions about. There is no real body of experience to refer to.

How can a business make itself ready to successfully apply AR? What will make implementation easier and more effective and ensure that the initial efforts provide a solid foundation for future transformation?

Knowing Where You Are And Where You Want To Go

There are two things you need to do at the very beginning: Identify a business goal, and assess what you are currently doing to achieve that goal.

A business goal can be retaining expertise by transferring skills from older or retiring workers to newer or unskilled workers. It can be providing product demos to prospects for products in a portfolio. It can be ensuring that engineers collaborate successfully on meeting permitting and safety requirements for new assembly lines across global locations.

Most importantly, what are the processes and procedures? Where are the bottlenecks or particular difficulties?

When considering where best to apply AR, further assessment is necessary — technology readiness. An impressive AR demo can be created for almost any business situation, but it’s important to choose a use case that can scale. AR can be used to improve routine, repetitive activities, but it won’t show its true value there, and investment in it will show less return.

AR really shines at helping with complex, varied and changing circumstances. The wider the range of product types, manufacturing procedures or workforce capabilities, the more clearly AR will show its value and the wider the organizational uptake will be.

Delivering AR To The User

AR content can be delivered to the end user in a variety of ways, and careful consideration of that user’s needs and the constraints of their work environment is necessary for a successful demonstration.

For example, a sales rep may need to present a broad portfolio of thousands of product configurations to prospects and customers. Currently, that may involve shipping samples to trade shows, providing spec sheets, and linking to diagrams and videos on webpages.

With AR, a customer can see all the details of a specific product, get a good idea of how it works and understand how it differs from the competition. Implementing AR on a phone or tablet can allow that sales rep to easily build a relationship with that customer, demonstrate a product of interest, communicate its details and use, and answer any technical questions while maintaining the touch essential to the sales process.

However, if the goal is to improve worker productivity on the production line, where various tools need to be picked up and used, AR content can be best delivered through a hands-free wearable, whether binocular eyewear such as Microsoft HoloLens or Magic Leap or monocular eyewear such as Google Glass Enterprise or the RealWear HMT-1. That information is overlaid on what the worker is seeing, whether it is instructions, fill levels or safety precautions, without interfering with the worker’s tasks.

It’s worth spending some time to really consider the various possible ways your AR could be used now and in the future so the chosen technology presents the information in an optimal way for the user.

Ensuring Access To The Necessary Content

An audit of the information necessary to build an AR experience that communicates effectively to the user can turn up gaps. This is fairly common because the range of information AR can communicate is much wider than is possible with existing channels. Ensuring the availability of this information as early in the process as possible can make for effective implementation.

If you want to provide procedural guidance to line workers, you must have — or be able to create or capture — digitized work instructions. If you want to provide 3D instructions on how to maintain and service a newly acquired machine, you must have the 3D CAD data. If you want workers to see diagnostic information about a machine’s performance such as vibration, temperatures and fill levels, that machine must have the necessary sensors and connectivity.

Identifying this information will require acquiring, storing, managing, distributing and analyzing new types of data and repurposing data you already have.

While not ideal, the lack of some information is not fatal. For example, if there is no 3D CAD data for your machine, using a head-mounted device to record an expert performing all the required maintenance procedures can fill the gap. However, identifying those gaps and planning methods for filling those gaps is essential.

Presenting That Content In A Useable Way

Technologies such as web and mobile apps, which were new not so long ago, are now established, and the methods for creating them and making them usable are defined. AR is much earlier in the process of becoming routine, so the specifics of AR usability still require attention.

Even an AR project that addresses a business goal, understands user needs and is supplied with the right content can fail if the user experience is inadequate. There are many ways to go wrong, from excessive or poorly organized information to inadequate visual contrast.

The need for usability is great, and tools to assist in AR content authoring are developing quickly. They’re already providing significant assistance to content developers, but understanding the capabilities and needs of the worker and rigorously establishing what information is most important in what context is key in this step.

You Are Ready For AR

Almost every business can improve efficiency, reduce costs, more quickly skill workers or ensure compliance through the information AR communicates. Choosing the right place to try AR first takes some thought and planning, which will enable an effective AR implementation that will provide a foundation for future growth.

VIDEO – Loop Insights $MTRX.ca Artificial Intelligence #AI + ImagineAR $IP.ca $IPNFF Augmented Reality Will Change Shopping Forever $SEV.ca $VST.ca $YDX.ca $NTAR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:00 PM on Wednesday, July 22nd, 2020
Loop Insights – Medium

“Change Shopping Forever” … that’s a pretty bold statement to make from two small cap companies in the early stages of commercialization.  But when you watch this interview, it becomes pretty apparent why Loop Insights (MTRX:TSXV) and ImagineAR (IP:CSE / IPNFF:OTCQB) realized within a couple of hours of speaking they were creating the “Minority Report” of shopping.  

How?  

Well, this is the part where we write a carefully crafted synopsis of the interview to provide viewers with enough context to dive into the video.  But this is the first time in our existence where a synopsis just isn’t possible because it’s tough enough trying to describe the benefits of one paradigm shifting technology, let alone two of them that have joined forces.  If we tried, we’d give away the entire interview and still not do it justice.  

Trust us that this is a video you have to watch – and then share.  In fact, you’ll probably end up watching it a couple of times.  

These two companies are onto something we’ve never seen before.  At Agoracom, we believe the convergence of AI and AR is going to change the world this decade in many applications – and we just found the first two companies who may very well be doing by closing the loop between E-commerce and Bricks & Mortar.  

Get your popcorn ready.

Augmented reality heads-up displays for cars are finally a real thing

By: Jonathan M. Gitlin

When Audi briefed Ars on its newest electric car, the part that most piqued our interest was the news that the Q4 e-tron Sportback will feature an augmented reality heads-up display. As we explained in that article, Audi didn’t feel like elaborating much on the new technology. Perhaps it wishes it had, as it’s going to be beaten to the punch by its deadly rival Mercedes-Benz. When the 2021 S-Class debuts in September, the brand’s flagship sedan will offer an AR HUD, among other tech upgrades.

The automaker has even been forthcoming with some technical info on this latest driver assist. It uses a digital mirror device from Texas Instruments—perhaps no surprise given that TI has been developing automotive AR tech for a while now. The DMD has a resolution of 1.3 megapixels (or megamirrors, to be strictly accurate) and projects onto a 10˚ horizontal, 5˚ vertical aperture HUD, with the image appearing 33 feet (10m) away. (Mercedes-Benz says it’s the equivalent of a 77-inch monitor.)

Unfortunately, Mercedes-Benz hasn’t shared any still images of the AR HUD in action, and there were only a few seconds of video in the b-roll that the company provided. But the automaker did helpfully tweet out a longer video this morning, which we’ve embedded below, as it really is the best way to see how the system works. (If the embedded tweet isn’t showing up for you, you can view it here.)

Ready for the next level of displays? The augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD) of the new #SClass provides loads of #augmentedreality content for #drivingassistance systems and navigation information. #MercedesBenz #MBUX pic.twitter.com/LwGqGJvRjB

— Daimler AG (@Daimler) July 10, 2020

As you can see, it fuses various sensor inputs from the vehicle like the forward-looking radar as well as optical sensors to alert or inform the driver. That information could be the distance to a car you’re following, or markers delineating the edge of the road in low-light situations, or navigation help via directional arrows that work a bit like the optimal racing line overlay in games like Forza.

I’ll admit it: I’m excited that this tech is finally making its way into production and I’m eager to try it out, although some in the automotive UX world are not entirely convinced that a limited field-of-view HUD is the right way to implement this idea versus a full AR windshield.

That tech was considered unworkable a few years ago, and early practical demos of AR driver assists used goggles instead. But by CES in 2019 there were already static demos from companies like Saint-Gobain Sekurit and the aforementioned TI. A successful implementation will require restraint on the part of the UX designers, with AR elements being used sparingly to avoid information overload that could actually be even more distracting to drivers. But given that the problem of distracted driving is partly a problem of where a driver is looking, AR has the potential to save lives.

Alen Paul Silverrstieen, CEO of ImagineAR, stated “This was the year that, by all expert accounts, was the year that Augmented Reality would begin to make its first commercialization push and it did not disappoint.  Despite dramatic geo-political, economic and societal volatility from the start of 2020 resulting in delays to some of our negotiations, we were still able to close a significant financing, announce significant national and global partnerships, and add top notch people to our board and team.  It is safe to say that we anticipate significant results to stem from this positioning in the second half of the year and, quite frankly, for the foreseeable future”.

MARKET CAPITALIZATION APPRECIATION IN 2020

The Company’s great progress in 2020, as well as, positioning for growth can best be observed through our market capitalization growth in 2020.  At the outset of the year, ImagineAR had a market capitalization of less than $5,000,000.  Today, that figure sits at approximately $25,000,000.

Furthermore, liquidity and dollar volume trading in the first quarter was encouraging and showed us signs of promise, which came to fruition at the end of the second quarter with daily dollar volume trading regularly exceeding $500,000 and even surpassing $3,000,000 recently.  

Silverrstieen added “With a market cap of approximately $25 million dollars, ImagineAR continues to provide investors with a great opportunity to participate in the anticipated growth of Augmented Reality, which promises to be a disruptive over the next 3 years and then well beyond into the rest of the decade”.

HADO: The Amazing Ways Augmented Reality Is Changing Sport

  • Now that Japanese start-up Meleap created the world’s first physical e-sport called HADO, gamers have a way to be active while competing in the digital world
  • HADO is an entirely new experience the company calls techno sports that uses augmented reality (AR) tech and motion sensors without requiring the player to be tethered to a gaming system, controllers, or cables

By: Bernard Marr Contributor

Now that Japanese start-up Meleap created the world’s first physical e-sport called HADO, gamers have a way to be active while competing in the digital world. HADO is an entirely new experience the company calls techno sports that uses augmented reality (AR) tech and motion sensors without requiring the player to be tethered to a gaming system, controllers, or cables. The company has three AR offerings, including HADO Augmented Sport (Player vs. Player), HADO Monster Battle, and HADO Shoot; they will soon add HADO Kart.

HADO: The Amazing Ways Augmented Reality Is Changing Sport

First Experience to Merge Physical Athletics with AR Technology

In HADO Augmented Sport, you can see how physical the game can be. It resembles dodgeball with players competing in an arena and flipping and bending to avoid being hit by the opposing team’s energy balls. Competitors can play 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3. Each team stays on one side of the court. The goal is to hit the other team with as many energy balls as possible to drain them of their “lives” and get points during a timed event.

Players can defend themselves with shields and barriers. If the shields get hit, they will weaken and ultimately need to be recharged. If you remember playing dodgeball, there is a lot of ducking and diving in HADO, just as there is in the traditional dodgeball game. Quick reflexes and coordination are necessary to avoid being hit. Players also have the option to alter their play characteristics to become more defensive (shields get stronger, but a slower recharge time for attacks) or offensive (quick recharge time after attacks, but shields are weaker). In addition to shield thickness and recharge speed, players can alter the bullet size. These adjustments can allow for different players on the same team to play different strategic roles in the competition.

AR of HADO

The digital experience is enabled by an AR device that players wear on their heads and a motion sensor the size of a smartphone worn on the wrist or forearm. Players are able to move unrestricted in the real environment while interacting with the digital items they can see through the AR headset. This is not a sport played in your living room, but in 60+ arenas in 15 countries that give ample space for the competition similar to other physical sports such as volleyball and basketball. AR tech is also lighter weight, so players can dive and move without feeling weighed down. The possibilities allowed through AR make applications for HADO’s e-sport virtually unlimited.

Physical Fitness with HADO

HADO requires players who are physically agile and have gaming skills as well. Players who succeed at the game will be in constant motion while diving, bending, and squatting to evade the energy balls hurled by the other team. When players shoot energy balls, they use a punching motion. Players must have great hand-eye coordination and be adept at blocking from a variety of angles. There are VR games such as Sparc and Audioshield that can help players with hand-eye coordination training required to be good at HADO.

Global Expansion

HADO has held several competitions and events in Asia, including the HADO World Cup tournament where the world’s top players compete for a cash prize and bragging rights as the HADO World Champions. There are plans to expand globally by 2020. Currently, 600,000 users have experienced HADO sports.

HADO is launching a pro AR league in Japan this year as well. Tournaments are planned every week and will award a cash prize to the winners. The first official season of the pro league begins in the third quarter of 2019.

As this new concept of e-sports gains popularity, a HADO arena might open near you, where you will be able to compete with other players locally to see what it’s all about. Until then, you can watch YouTube to see players in action.

Not only did Meleap make many childhood dreams come true with the creation of HADO and by bringing virtual and physical realms together, but they proved that AR technology and athletic sports can be combined for an entirely new experience. It will be interesting to watch as others apply these concepts to other sports competitions and use cases in a variety of industries.

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.

  • 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

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.

In 2018, and responding to the Stoneman Douglas High School tragedy, Broward Education Foundation initiated a GoFundMe, established the official Stoneman Douglas Victims’ Fund and raised $10.5M for victims’ families, survivors and those impacted. Broward Education Foundation is proven agile, adept and responsive to shifting needs in education and our community.
