For their latest campaign, promoting Burger King's one dollar menu, ad agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky chose to break the mold of former AR campaigns. First, there's no mini-site, the whole experience is neatly contained within a single banner ad. Moreover, there's no need to print a marker. You simply show this ad a one dollar bill and it shows you an item from BK's one dollar menu. You flip the bill and it shows you another item. Finally, when you hide the bill from your web cam, your face is covered by a king's mask.
Apparently it works with other bills and even white sheets of paper, so you can give it a try. The banner is featured over here.
We, at Augmented Times, believe that augmented reality (AR) is the next big paradigm shift. Connecting the world wide web with the physical world and the many objects, places and humans it contains, AR is both a disruptive technology and an exciting vision of the future.
This blog's goal is to document AR taking over our lives, but it needs your help. Have an augmented reality related news or story? Published an interesting paper about AR? Have something to say about this site or the AR community in genereal? Tell us about it, at rouli.net ~at~ gmail.com
