2018 will be a big learning year for businesses in ANZ & the Asia Pacific region, as they work out how to adopt this technology into their strategies and budgets. AR is now on the cusp of Australian reality. We are now on the precipice of mass adoption of AR in Australia, including key industries such as the retailing, property & auto marketing, food & beverages, sports, agriculture & livestock, insurance & banking and the tourism sectors. Within the Australian market, we expect to see more and more start-ups like Plattar (that raised $1.1 million capital from News Corp last year) continue to dominate. Acquisitions will take place from larger creative agencies looking to bolster their offerings within the AR/VR space. Australian based companies will work with offshore developers to keep development costs down.

Brands have begun incorporating AR/VR as well, introducing the technology into their marketing and CX strategies. Quality and overall user experience will vary greatly; successful companies will use a smart, customer first strategy to lead the way.

Following our successful inaugural conference last year, the 2nd Immersive Augmented and Virtual Reality Customer Experience, Marketing and Product Development Forum will feature more advanced use cases in AR in improving market reach, strengthening brand equity, as well as address ways to transform the future of customer experience in this new digital world. Mark 24 – 25 October 2018 and 12 – 13 November 2018 in your calendar and book your seat now to join the impressive gathering of CX, AR, VR, MR and AI professionals!
