Webinar: How augmented reality will be the new normal for brands and advertisers

Thank you for signing up to attend Blippar’s webinar on “How Augmented Reality will be the 'new normal' for Brands and Advertisers”, where the focus was on AR use cases by industry vertical created using the Blippbuilder platform. 

We had an overwhelming response to the webinar which was oversubscribed and if you could not attend there is a link at the bottom of the page which gives you access to the video recording. 

In the webinar, we demonstrated how Blippar’s platform solutions can offer WebAR capabilities on markers with web-based image recognition where users can experience augmented reality on the web browser. The platform can support WebAR with 3d animation, 2d animation, green screen CGI video, motion path animation, dynamic lighting and many more features.

We wanted to take the opportunity of doing a Covid19 related handwashing demonstration to recognize the invaluable work done by healthcare workers all over the world. All of us at Blippar are in awe of all you do and this live demo was dedicated to you.

The webinar is available for viewing on YouTube.
