Brands are looking for novel and innovative ways to mesh augmented reality with their CX strategies. Sometimes, the most atypical brand can be amongst the best teachers for how to bring technologies together.
Working on behalf of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, Digitas created JFK MOONSHOT--a fully-synchronized augmented reality recreation of Apollo 11 where every moment, maneuver, and milestone unfolded in real time, second-by-second, precisely 50 years later.
Keith Soljacich, VP/Group Director of Experiential Technology, at Digitas, will discuss how his team conceptualized this one-of-a-kind program, as well as how it has proven to be a testing ground for how brands from all industries can harness this type of technology for consumers’ benefit—and for brands’ revenues.

This year NFL football fans were able to enjoy a new AR activation on-site in Miami, the host city of Super Bowl LIV. Utilizing the Unity platform, Bose created a beacon-based fan experience as part of the 10-day celebration leading up to the game, in partnership with the NFL and Trigger Digital. Fans were asked to don a pair of Bose headphones and approach a set of “players’ lockers”. Activated by a beacon, the lockers came to life with an audio experience offering content related to the relevant NFL player. For example, the fan may have heard a previously conducted interview between the player and a reporter. In this presentation, Michael Ludden, Global Head of Enablement & Principal AR Advocate at Bose, Tony Parisi, Head of AR/VR Ad Innovation at Unity Technologies and Jason Yim CEO at Trigger Digital will explain how this activation was developed and why an exclusively audio-first approach to augmented reality with tailored audio content can be a new way of engaging consumers that is often overlooked. The speakers will demonstrate what is possible with audio AR, including how it can provide a sense of motion and direction.
