What is the average cost of an augmented reality project?

An AR project includes 2 different items: Services (Media Creation, Scripting, Test and Project Management) and Licenses. Costs and services depend on complexity of the project, license cost depends on type of project (web, mobile, kiosk etc.).

What are my responsibilities as an AR Agency if I sell projects?

You are responsible for the project you’re selling. Total Immersion will not take responsibility services without a specific agreement.

How does the process work?

Phase 1: Campaign Kick-Off. Total Immersion works with the client to develop the augmented reality scenario: scope out the project: document key timelines, goals, deliverables, messaging. Develop and confirm scenario storyboards.

Phase 2: Content Creation. Media artists develop assets for a custom solution: source sound effects, video files and other assets. Create media content and animation. Validate and test the content.

Phase 3: Programming Engineers customize the solution through D’Fusion® scripting, where the interactivity of the user experience is developed. Develop scenario and game play. Validate final result.

Phase 4: Final delivery Final version is tested and then integrated on the web site for a web project.

How can I know that a project is feasible?

Our Presales team is available to help you on project feasibility

What are the main differences between the different partner programs proposed?

Please have a look on the following matrix.

Marketing & General

What is AR?

Augmented Reality (AR) integrates 3D objects into live video. The video is then digitally processed and “augmented” with the 3D components. The digital processing mixes real and virtual worlds together, in real time, to create augmented reality experiences. Click here for an explanation and a video demonstration.

What makes AR revolutionary?

Augmented Reality (AR) is a true groundbreaking technology, able to deliver dramatic visual and interactive advantages to numerous applications. Having initially made its mark in promotions, presentations and entertainment attractions, AR is poised to expand into virtually any market imaginable, including education, information services, medical applications, industrial maintenance, product design and more. The driving force behind AR is the ability to enrich reality with images of people and objects we could not interact with otherwise.

How can AR benefit a marketing campaign?

Augmented Reality bridges the gap between physical products sold in the digital world. Market research proves that the more consumers hold a product, the more likely they are to purchase it. AR solutions enable consumers to engage with products in a fun, captivating brand experience that delivers a true “wow” factor.

Is it expensive?

It’s all how you look at it. Most brands have already created digital assets (2D images, 3D models, sounds, animations, etc.) that Total Immersion repurposes for the media platform (web, mobile, in-store, outdoor promotion). If partners consider AR as part of an integrated multimedia campaign, the additional cost is very low and the assets can be re-used.

What if the novelty wears off?

In addition to AR’s more spectacular uses, Total Immersion is working with clients to develop ongoing Augmented Reality business solutions, delivering new revenue streams, new business models and new ways of engaging consumers. As more brands add AR to their fully integrated campaigns, the technology will evolve into a staple of the digital marketplace.

How does it work?

AR Agency : Technical

What skills do I need as an AR Agency?

AR Agency projects do not require technical skill, just creative and project management experience.

How is knowledge transfer handled?

A secured extranet containing sales, marketing and technical information is available to each partner. Dedicated tools such as Webex sessions, newsletters, etc. are available. Total Immersion can provide additional training upon request.

How long does it take to deliver an AR project to my customer?

Average delivery time for standard web or mobile project is between 6 to 8 weeks.

What are the advantages of the markerless tracking technology?

Markerless tracking doesn't require adding a specific black and white marker for an AR experience and then does not require any change on the packaging of the product used.

Can web applications be integrated into social networks like Facebook?

Yes. D’Fusion allows full interaction with Facebook, and automatic video recording and upload to YouTube.

What’s the difference between D'Fusion SDK for Adobe Flash and D'Fusion Studio?

D'Fusion SDK for Adobe Flash is a tracking library integrated within Adobe Tools. D'Fusion Studio is a full augmented reality development software suite.
