Wikipedia defines it as <i>a <\/i><i>computer<\/i><i> technology that uses <\/i><i>virtual reality headsets<\/i><i> to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user&#8217;s physical presence in a virtual or imaginary environment<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a prelude to actual VR projects, YouTube first launched 360\u00b0 videos that many brands have since experimented with, for instance, this AT&amp;T video about road safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"360 It Can Wait Driving Simulation | It Can Wait | AT&amp;T\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gOc1dAcfCfk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, Google launched Cardboard and positioned it as a low-cost VR kit that users could use with their existing mobile devices to experience virtual reality. Since its launch, Google has shipped 10 million Cardboard VR headsets\u2014demonstrating the market for VR tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now with Microsoft finalizing its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/hololens\">Hololens concept<\/a>, Samsung <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsung.com\/global\/galaxy\/gear-vr\/\">launching Gear VR<\/a>, Facebook-owned Oculus with its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oculus.com\/rift\/\">VR headset Oculus Rift<\/a>, and Google unveiling <a href=\"https:\/\/vr.google.com\/daydream\/\">Daydream<\/a>\u2014a full-fledged VR solution complete with dedicated apps in the Google Play Store, it\u2019s clear that these tech giants are now locked in a head-to-head fight to create and capitalize on their own virtual reality environments, much like they once competed for the search market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-8529\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/vr_banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/vr_banner.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/vr_banner-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/vr_banner-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/vr_banner-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/vr_banner-150x79.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>Google&#8217;s Daydream Viewer is already on sale.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What does all this have to do with advertising? Well, last year, Google first hinted at the possible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkwithgoogle.com\/marketing-resources\/virtual-reality-advertising\/\">use of virtual reality in advertising<\/a> in a post that touches on VR and brand concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>It&#8217;s still early days, but virtual reality is quickly gaining mainstream attention. Global search interest on Google grew by nearly 4X in the last year. The technology has the potential to change our daily lives\u2014from how we communicate to how we spend our leisure time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/developers.googleblog.com\/2017\/06\/experimenting-with-vr-ad-formats-at.html\" rel=\"noopener\">in a post on the Google Developer blog<\/a>, it was revealed that Google is experimenting with a new <i>cube<\/i> ad format that uses virtual reality to deliver ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-8530\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screenshot-at-Jul-18-13-54-52.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screenshot-at-Jul-18-13-54-52.png 600w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screenshot-at-Jul-18-13-54-52-300x264.png 300w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screenshot-at-Jul-18-13-54-52-150x132.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Ads in VR could be delivered by scanning users&#8217; eyes for movement.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Developers and users have told us they want to avoid disruptive, hard-to-implement ad experiences in VR. So our first idea for a potential format presents a cube to users, with the option to engage with it and then see a video ad. By tapping on the cube or gazing at it, the cube opens a video player where the user can watch, and then easily close, the video.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that these are still nascent days for virtual reality, the cube from Google is just the first step for VR-related ad tech, it\u2019s easy to imagine many newer ad formats emerging over the next few years as virtual reality really takes off and gains mass acceptance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-augmented-reality\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%3E_Augmented_Reality\"><\/span>&gt; Augmented Reality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The craze of Pok\u00e9mon GO may have died down, but popular interest in augmented reality is far from peaked. In some ways, augmented reality is just one step removed from virtual reality, where instead of recreating reality, details are added, or <i>augmented<\/i> on top of the real world. Snapchat\u2019s filters, including the ever-popular dog filter, is also an example of augmented reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>London-based visual search and discovery app-maker Blippar has been experimenting with a new <a href=\"https:\/\/blippar.com\/en\/resources\/blog\/2017\/05\/08\/bringing-augmented-reality-rich-media-banners\/\">ad format called augmented reality digital placements (ARDPs)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Blippar Brings Augmented Reality to Rich Media Banners\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NJZJxqVzbI4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>ARDP is the world\u2019s first augmented reality digital ad unit. This powerful new format allows advertisers, brands, agencies or digital publishers to deliver interactive, contextually-relevant AR experiences at scale\u2014directly from digital banner ads.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Forbes recently ran a banner ad powered by Blippar\u2019s ARDP technology, where a user could click on a banner, this action would then replace the screen with the interiors of a car. The user could then move the phone around to explore the interior from different angles, and if camera access is granted\u2014view the real world from inside the car. Obviously, this is a huge step up in terms of providing a more immersive ad experience compared to a typical banner ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Facebook is also moving fast on augmented reality.<\/strong> First, Instagram launched Snapchat-style camera filters for users, and more recently, Mark Zuckerberg announced his intention of turning the smartphone camera into the \u201cfirst mainstream AR platform\u201d at the F8 developers\u2019 conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-8528\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/17640331_1446894032036262_1729751259025506304_n.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/17640331_1446894032036262_1729751259025506304_n.png 900w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/17640331_1446894032036262_1729751259025506304_n-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/17640331_1446894032036262_1729751259025506304_n-768x388.png 768w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/17640331_1446894032036262_1729751259025506304_n-150x76.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Facebook is driving a campaign to turn the camera into an AR platform.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, Facebook has released <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/blog\/post\/2017\/04\/18\/Introducing-Camera-Effects-Platform\/\">Camera Effects Platform<\/a>, an augmented reality project that developers can use to build apps that enhance camera functionality by adding information layers and digital objects. Since a major chunk of Facebook\u2019s revenue comes from advertising, the new augmented reality platform is expected to include new ad formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>The Camera Effects Platform turns smartphone cameras into the first AR platform, providing an opportunity for artists and developers to create effects for the Facebook camera. Included with this new platform are two creative tools, Frame Studio and AR Studio, that give the Facebook community the power to create a full spectrum of camera effects, from simple frames to interactive augmented reality (AR) experiences. This platform empowers artists and developers to connect art with data to bring AR into everyday life through the Facebook camera.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In some aspects, Google Glass was the first ambitious augmented reality project, which failed to take off due to lack of traction, but that hasn\u2019t stopped other developers from working on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-location-based-targeting\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%3E_Location-based_Targeting\"><\/span>&gt; Location-based Targeting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the message, advertising is a lot about timing, if you manage to deliver the ad at the right time and place\u2014closing a sale becomes that much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Location-based targeting works on the assumptions that almost everyone has a mobile device these days and most mobile devices have GPS-based location tracking. The ad may be sent via text or even a banner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you\u2019re walking through a shopping arcade and receive an ad about <i>30% Off Season Sale<\/i> on Reebok just as you\u2019re passing by a Reebok retail store, obviously, this is significantly more compelling than a random Reebok banner ad that you may see and forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was a hypothetical example but this is pretty much how it functions in the real world. <strong>Starbucks experimented with location-based text ads way back in 2014<\/strong>, alerting users close to a Starbucks outlet to drop in and avail a special discount. According to Starbucks, the probability of a prospect walking in increased by 100% after seeing the ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-8531\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Location-Based-Mobile-Marketing-Example.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Location-Based-Mobile-Marketing-Example.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Location-Based-Mobile-Marketing-Example-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Location-Based-Mobile-Marketing-Example-150x97.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Starbucks has experimented with location-targeted text ads.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few distinct advantages of location-based advertising:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><b>Better targeting:<\/b> According to a study conducted by IAB UK, 46% people say they block ads because they are \u201coften irrelevant\u201d, location-based ads are all about targeting.<\/li><li><b>More personalization:<\/b> Location is not the only user data that is available to marketers these days, as <a href=\"https:\/\/econsultancy.com\/blog\/67353-consumers-becoming-more-relaxed-about-their-data-report\">consumers become more relaxed about their data<\/a>, the scope for personalizing ads to fit the individual user increases.<\/li><li><strong>Timing:<\/strong> If the ad is successfully delivered at a time when the user has real-world proximity to the brand or product, the effect is more immediate.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Location-based advertising is happening right now.
