Brands for Augmented Reality Dev EcosystemMark Silva
Presentation for the Augmented Reality Event May 8, 2012, a gathering of some of the leading minds and developers in the field. The audience was expecting PepsiCo's CMO and Chief Engagement Officer, Frank Cooper, who asked me to step in due to schedule conflicts. I presented three brands of radically different scale and fit in consumer's lives from Pepsi to Red Bull to La Chouffe beer. The core themes were:
1) that AR and other technologies make it mainstream when they cross over to culture
2) that SoLoMo is an advantaged experiential and consumer opportunity for AR development
3) that developers have to think about brands as more than a paycheck b/c brands are thinking about content, curation and extending consumer engagement over their marketing platforms in more sophisticated ways
4) that AR is still nascent with much room for creativity and the budget/rationale unlocks will be via metadata and path to purchase while the story over them must be entertainment/culture

Lee Han Lin conducted a site exploration for a proposed eco resort. Data was collected through site observing, pictures, and research. Two organisms found on site - Mint Plant and Garden Skink - were documented in detail. Mint plants grow well in sun or shade with moist soil, reaching 2-3 feet tall. Garden Skinks hunt insects and fruits, living in loose soil and mulch, and lay 2-6 small white eggs. Through their 5 senses, Lee experienced the beautiful rural scenery, birdsong, tasteless water, fresh air smells, and feelings of peace. An ecosystem diagram showed climate influences population growth. Participants had fun getting wet during a mock meeting.
