How Augmented Reality Can Be Used in Digital Marketing

Augmented reality is an enhanced version of the real physical world that is achieved through the use of digital visual elements, sound, or other sensory stimuli delivered via technology. Its use can be classified into three categories: Information overlay, digital package and virtual objects.

Augmented reality uses information overlay when your brand wants your consumers to discover a particular product by viewing it. Virtual objects help you communicate with your customers as they explore your products. For instance, furniture companies use this method to view furniture in the catalogue as if they are in your own home.
