How XR Will Reinvent the Digital Experience for People and Brands

Description

XR is already revolutionizing retail, e-commerce and advertising, but it’s barely the tip of the iceberg. At the same time, social media is also beginning to merge with the metaverse, meaning that, within a decade, the whole way in which we experience the digital world is set to undergo a tremendous shift. XR will bridge the gap between the digital and physical world, and it will change the way we interact with brands and each other. In this presentation, Lucky Gobindram, General Manager at CXR, will explore this goldmine of opportunity for business growth and the ways it can already be leveraged to drive conversions and build relationships with consumers.

Immersive experiences are about to become the new frontier of marketing, providing customers with more control over their experience and the ability to invite in and experience brands they love. With the looming fight for attention, brands need to understand the opportunities and threats: how to be discovered, how to be "invited in" as trusted partners in XR , and how to stay involved when consumers navigate their world with Augmented Reality as the information and experience layer. With new ways to access XR experiences, this panel will explore how consumers will use XR to engage with brands in a variety of ways - including potentially excluding them completely - and how brands should be approaching how to set themselves up for success in the near future.

In this talk, Camera IQ co-founder Allison Ferenci will discuss the secrets for creating AR experiences that impact the entire decision-making funnel.
