Tuesday, June 24, 2014
2:00 p.m. Eastern (11:00 a.m. Pacific)

In this free PaperSpecs webinar sponsored by VMA’s Storyboard, guest speaker Amanda Le of Metaio shows designers and marketers how the latest software makes creating augmented reality easy and affordable.

Palo Alto, California – June 10, 2014 – Generating text messages with real-time lunch specials as a hungry diner walks in the vicinity of your restaurant. Touching an icon on the page of a magazine that activates a three-dimensional, 360-degree view of the hottest pair of block-heel, lace-up pumps.

These are all examples of augmented reality (AR). And to any creative designer and marketer, they represent the pin-tip of possibilities for educating, informing and entertaining customers.

“This is the webinar I’ve wanted to do for some time,” explains Sabine Lenz, founder of PaperSpecs. “Thanks to new software applications, marketers and designers can now create and use augmented reality easier than ever before to help their clients expand sales, demonstrate products, or drive traffic to critical points of contact. AR not only differentiates the companies using it, but those capable of offering it as a service.”
