32. Augmented Reality

33. Augmented Reality (AR): is a live direct or indirect manipulation of a physical
environment. Using AR, elements of the a real world environment can be
augmented in real-time, by superimposing virtual computer generated
sensory input such as sound or graphics. AR can enhance one’s current
perception of reality, reaching beyond the static graphics of television and
adjusting to the users every head, hand or eye movement.
*** Augmented reality has made a significant contribution in mobilising
e-commerce, overcoming online purchase barriers in visualisation and trial. AR
enables consumers to experience and play with a product prior to
committing to purchase

usefulness. Branded Utility is often subtle branding and rather than
directly pushing brand or product aesthetics, creates cut through by
identifying closely with a related consumer need and adding extra
value by fulfilling it as a go-to resource.

40. Social Collaborative Art

41. Social Collaboration: The internet has transformed how we socialise,
breaking down geographic boundaries and promoting information
sharing and individual expression. Stemming from this, there is a
growing trend for social collaborative projects that capture the
unique and moving ways the digital environment can be used to
unite people, passions and interests in collaborative works.

51. Social Gaming

52. Stemming from the social media craze- “Social games” are web-based games
like Mafia Wars and FarmVille played on social networks like Facebook, not
Xbox 360 action games which remains dominated by young males.
Interestingly however, a recent a recent survey of those who play online
social games found that the average social gamer is a 43-year-old woman.
In fact it showed 55% of social gamers are female and 45% are male.
Facebook was noted as the most popular destination for online games, with
83% of respondents saying they have played games there. So why is this
such an up and coming trend? One hundred million people are playing
these games and about $1 billion in revenue is expected this year alone

61. Geo-location

62. Location based services utilise Global positioning systems (GPS) to associate
a users position with their activities and interests to enrich the social
networking experience
User submitted location data enables social networks to connect & coordinate
a users with their locales, offering explanation, analysis & detailed
commentary through a combination of multimedia content.
With the growth of mobile and social media and demand for real-time
information, Geo-location social apps are making their mark; the most
prominent being Foursquare, Gowalla and Facebook Places which have
stirred much media hype this year.
What is it?

63. Facebook Places broadcasts a location check-in to a user news feed, users can view
friends and events nearby or review/recommend place. Centric to the concept is to enhance
the social experience by utilising location to merge on and offline. Unlike it’s main rivals
Gowalla and Foursquare, Places misses a gaming element. In saying this, it has partnered
with other geo-location companies, including Gowalla, Foursquare, InCrowd and Yelp to
help integrate it’s services. Recently added was a function to find local deals, expanding the
platforms marketing potential. Although there are no published numbers for usage, with
Facebook’s 500+ active million users the potential for Places is evidently vast.
Facebook Places

64. Foursquare has two primary functions. Firstly, a social component for sharing your location
with friends, figuring out where they are or making a recommendation. Second is a gaming
element centred around the collection of points, prize "badges," and eventually coupons.
In October 2010 Foursquare signed up its 4 millionth member and to date has generated much
interest as an extended social media strand, enabling brands to directly reward loyalty.
Foursquare

65. Although Gowalla has been in the spotlight as a LBS contender, outside the US Gowalla
holds little pull as a marketing platform with a base of approx 450,000 global
members. Similar to Foursquare, Gowalla works on a gaming premise that rewards
users with badges and points for check-ins. Although you are able to connect with
friends, Gowalla has a more individual focus than Foursquare.
Gowalla

66. Jimmy Choo teamed up with Foursquare for a trainer treasure hunt around London (Catch-a
Choo). Participants were lead through a series of suitably fashionable London check-in points on
Foursquare and location details were simultaneously posted on twitter and Facebook. Ultimately
the objective was to arrive at the final destination and catch a pair of swanky trainers before they
left. Click here for more details.

67. Chicago tourism came up an engaging idea using a social media play on nostalgia to drive interest
in the city. Using foursquare, visitors were encouraged to explore Chicago the way Ferris Bueller did
in John Hughes classic; Ferris Buellers Day Off. Supported by ‘The Explore Chicago Giveaway’ (a
free trip for two out-of towners) on Foursquare’s Facebook page, users were invited to post a
comment detailing the scene they would like to recreate from the movie.

68. This mini cooper campaign is a brilliant game of catch. Using a mobile geo-location app users must
track and catch a mini and then keep there distance from other users for 7days in order to win the
mini as a prize. This is an innovative example of brands thinking beyond the limitations that existing
Geo-location apps may offer, building their own platform to meet their specific needs

69. Digital Cross Channel

70. Digital Integration: Achieving cut through in a saturated market is
increasingly reliant on engaging consumers through experience.
Brands are exploring new ways to push the boundaries of
technology and extend reach beyond conventional static
platforms. Digital integration is a cross channel application of
digital technology, creating new and exciting environments for
consumers to interact with brands

71. Toyota Auris used 3D light projection in a recent campaign to illustrate the cars recycled energy. The
idea entailed parking the car in a normal, everyday location and using projection mapping showcase the
Hybrid technology. To people walking past on the night the car appeared to come alive, the bodywork of
the car peeling back to reveal a glowing blue light to symbolize the car's recycled energy. The blue light
then escaped from the car ‘energising’ objects in the surrounding environment - before going back into
the car to demonstrate how the Auris Hybrid gets its energy back.

72. I am a big fan of light projections so I may come across a little enthusiastic but this 3D light
projection from Samsung is magic! It perfectly captured the technical craftsmanship of their
product, stopping people in the street & obtaining a wealth of earned off and online media

73. Join the Hilfiger Hall of Fame in Dublin by adding your pictures to an interactive wall! The store
features a unique through-window touch screen, providing an interface for shoppers to capture, stylise
and submit their image even outside of business hours. At the end of the campaign, customers can
return to the store and have their own T-shirt specially printed using the image they created as the
design.
