SXSW 2020
The Case for the Cont. Convergence of AR & Media
Description:
Immersive technology is empowering publishers to connect with new audiences in new ways, with every year bringing new best practices to drive engagement and value for readers. More media companies are releasing interactive projects, experimenting with new technologies and formats to attract audiences they previously may have not. This session will explore specifically the traction augmented reality has gained over the past year for publishers, and why it’s working as a new tool for journalism. Featuring industry leaders from some of the country’s most iconic news publishers, the panel will explore what’s driving resonance with audiences (and what is not), and how the advertising community, the lifeblood of media, is responding to consumer adoption.
