“Always on, always augmented” has become more than a vision. Thanks to augmented reality, the real and the virtual world are brought closer together.

IKEA catalogues come to life, vehicle user manuals can be displayed on Google Glass and McDonald’s customers can more closely understand the idea of sustainability, all by interacting with objects via app stores and fulfilling virtual missions.

All these projects will be presented at InsideAR, and Brandwatch is the official monitoring partner of the conference.

Using our social media monitoring app we will observe and analyse what is being discussed about the event on the social web and news sites before, during and after the event.

The InsideAR is the world’s largest Augmented Reality Conference and will take place on the 10^th  and 11^th of October in Munich.

It is organized by metaio, a top international player in the field of software for augmented reality technologies. Using Metaio’s product platform, interactive, multidimensional content can be shown in the display, enhancing the user’s world with additional information.

Augmented reality is available not only for smartphones and tablets, but also for Google Glass.

For the first time, a prototype for an interactive vehicle user manual on Google Glass will be shown at InsideAR.

All visitors of the Augmented Reality Conference will have the opportunity to experience in person, using Google Glass, the prototypes of the PKW-manuals, the first AR-Browser and many other Demos, each supporting the “hands-free” augmented reality.
