AR TECHNOLOGY : THE FUTURE OF EVENT MANAGEMENT? Pokemon Go, the global craze! A game developed by Niantic for Android and Ios devices, has captured the more than 20 million active users. Pokémon Go generated over 30 million app downloads, $1.6 million in revenue from the Ios store per day, and increased Nintendo's value by over $9 billion. What has the success of PokemonGo, go to do with event management and planning? The answer would be, ‘Augmented reality’. Augmented reality (AR) combines both computer generated elements and the reality to create an augmented world. With augmented reality, viewers interact with computer generated overlays as they move within the real world.

Why Should Event Planners Care? With so much potential, AR has the ability to change the way we discuss, attend, and interact at events. The most immediate application being seen within conferences and exhibitions for networking purposes.
Augmented Reality at Exhibition The major limitation of conducting events like automobile exhibitions are the space constraints which can often lead to lesser turnout and lesser exposure of the products displayed. The creative usage of Augmented Reality combined with tablet devices and accompanying custom app could help bring a different showroom experience to the automobile exhibition, and make it interactive for the audience. The below video from Volkswagen is a good example of how AR can be used for automobile exhibitions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ljb082-qYI
Augmented Experiences What if you could give an event attendee heads up turn-by-turn event directions? What if attendees could know who they're speaking with simply by donning a headset equipped with facial recognition software? These are the sort of things that augmented reality can provide event attendees. Event goers would simply need to use an AR headset, glasses or contact lenses that paired with special event planning software. Then they could engage with your event on a deeper level thanks to rich data overlaying their event space.
