Mobile event apps need to be as user-friendly as possible. You need to ensure that users can access the information they need with minimum effort. Implementing Augmented Reality (AR) technology in the app can be a great way of doing that.
Are you familiar with Augmented Reality (AR) technology? Simply put, it forms a bridge between the real world and the virtual world on your smartphone or mobile device, displaying information or performing some other task, depending on the object on which you focus the device camera. For instance, if you are using an AR app and point the device camera at a shop window, a small pop up message on the screen might display information about the popularity of the shop among customers (in terms of positive ratings posted on websites like Yelp.com).
event2mobile, the premier event management app platform developed by Web Spiders, utilizes AR technology to make it easier for attendees to find detailed information about speakers. When an attendee points his (or her) device camera at a speaker, a small pop up window displays the detailed bio of the speaker. The information of the bio is fetched from a centralized database, where you can create a detailed profile for each speaker, thus granting you complete control over the kind of information attendees will get to see.
Complete support for AR is just one of the many popular features of Event2Mobile, which go a long way in making the platform ideal for managing events of all kinds. Want to know more about Event2Mobile? Visit http://www.event2mobile.com right now.
