Augmented Reality turns the phone into a magic lens that can, figuratively speaking, arm your workforce with superpowers.

• Aim a phone at your product and get real-time holographic guidance on how to install or troubleshoot it (or use “x-ray vision” to view what’s inside it).
• Conduct a scavenger hunt to find digital learning objects around your office.
• Play a real-time business strategy sim, projected in 3D on the lunch table, with colleagues.
• Play microlearning games in the same environment where the skills will be applied.

It’s no exaggeration to say we’ll never use our phones the same way again.  And the rule book for mobile learning just went out the window. AR is coming – and fast!

This powerful emerging technology will be on hundreds of millions of phones in the next few months and on a couple of billion phones by next year.

More importantly, it may well be on your CEO’s phone the next time you meet. And you know what that means. You’ll have to explain how your group is going to be leveraging AR to improve enterprise learning and productivity.

This session focuses on the implications of Augmented Reality for learning and performance management.

This webcast will also break down Apple ARKit and Android ARCore for mobile and discuss the state of AR eyewear from a learning and enterprise perspective.

Anders will also address:

• How to identify and design low-cost, high-reward AR pilots
• Design principles when the world is your canvas
• How to go beyond information overlay and develop storytelling and game playing AR experiences to practice skills and reinforce concepts
• How to collect user data and analyze it for actionable insights
• How to make the case for AR to your CEO
• The AR development process

Come equipped with your questions so we can begin brainstorming ways you can pilot AR projects to drive ever-greater business results.
