ARROUND - Breakthrough communication platform in AR

 

ARROUND is a decentralized augmented reality (AR) platform. ARROUND uses blockchain and augmented reality to build an ecosystem consisting of four integrated elements: a disruptive universal advertising network, an augmented reality marketplace, a social platform, and the next generation AR map that will create a backbone for AR projects around the world. ARROUND offers a disruptive and fully functional AR social platform available for iOS and Android, which will also be ported to consumer smartglasses. ARROUND offers a new and engaging way for advertisers, brands and organizations to reach their audience in a way that both delights them and informs them. AR developers have little opportunity to reach the consumer market The use of blockchain ensures IP rights and the AR Store provides a staging area to test new products and services, which ultimate contributes to the development of the social network.

How It Works

As a breakthrough communication and advertising platform ARROUND will accommodate several profiles of people. That will include miners, users, application developers, advertisers, developers, and agency.

Each character will receive an enabling platform to showcase their products throughout the augmented reality devices while users will act as an audience for the users. The personalized world will serve as an advertising channel, sales platform and a market for the advertiser's software and hardware products.

How Will ARROUND Take Command of The AR Market

Arround.io is not the only player in the AR space. Other AR-focused projects such as Arcona, Spheroid Universe and TaDa Time are well-established in the AR niche. Therefore, Arround.io has devised the following strategies to give it an edge over its competition.

1. AR Social to Meet the Public’s Desire to Create and Interact with AR Content
ARROUND believes that there’s an unfulfilled demand for high-quality AR within the general public and by various businesses that want to incorporate AR into their marketing campaigns. ARROUND tries to meet this demand by introducing AR Social.

AR Social is a social network that focuses on augmented reality. Users on AR Social can create, view, and share AR content from their handheld devices such as tablets and smartphones. It also offers access to AR apps and other features such as GPS and Spatial Recognition technologies.

2. Offering Disruptive Mobile Marketing Solutions to Offline Retailers
ARROUND looks into a much-ignored market of offline retailers. Modern day digital and online marketing tools tend to overlook offline retailers. ARROUND has invented an AR advertising model that lets offline retailers engage potential customers through socio- and geo-targeted push notifications.

An In-Store AR Shopping Assistant has also been incorporated into ARROUND to generate discounts to customers as they choose what products to buy. The ARROUND App has an AR Camera that recognizes items by their packaging, logos, AR codes (QR code analogs). The AR shopping assistant can then use the information from the AR Camera, socio-demographic data and the user’s personal information to activate the best AR shopping experience for the user.

3. ARROUND Steps Away from The Saturated Mobile Advertising Channel
Mobile advertising is the most popular channel for digital advertising. It’s a channel that has come to involve cutthroat competition and an overwhelming supply of commercial offerings. This has inherently made users weary in various untold ways.

ARROUND, therefore, uses augmented reality to bring forth a new, intuitive way of reaching out to prospects and spreading campaign messages. The AR Store offers brand tools to publish both static and animate campaigns quickly and easily. AR AdNet further allows for campaign tracking.

4. AR Store provides a Ready Market for AR Creations
Developers who create or adapt content for AR will find that AR Store is a trustworthy marketplace where they can publish and sell their creations. The store will bring users unique content that can be placed in the real world. Users will also gain access to a multitude of other AR applications, games and virtual guides.

5. ARROUND Is A Backbone for Next Generation AR Developments
Crowd-sourcing and bounty incentives will be used to bring together developers who will create a next-generation 3D spatial AR Map. Developers can then integrate SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) data to the spatial map to help them accurately place AR objects.
