It is wonderful to see the Augmented Reality (AR) integration with print media brought about by Times of India and Adstuck Consulting.
What sets this use of AR aside is that it is not designed as an one-off advertisement that has AR integration which are generally viewed as gimmicks, but rather is firmly planted as a standard feature on the morning newspaper on a daily basis and that will ensure its wide-spread adoption and usage in a short time.
This technology has been around for years as QR code readers, but no
newspaper in the world has used it editorially to delight its readers and create a new level of interactivity.
Believe this is how the future of not just newspaper but most print media would look
in the era of convergence. The increase in the user base would have a huge and a positive impact on the usage of the technology for advertisers.
