Augmented Reality (AR) has the potential to be the future of entertainment by igniting imaginations and unlocking entirely new, valuable ways for humans to interact with each other. Imagine visiting Dolores Park and playing a game of virtual Jenga with everyone nearby, or learning about the First Transcontinental Railroad in school building a digital representation with classmates, or building a collaborative AR sculpture at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. These examples only begin to describe how AR has the potential to elevate the entertainment world by providing a new way for humans to interact with each other and the world around them.
2019 is set to be a watershed year for AR, and Anjney will discuss the importance of having the technology to support the anticipated massive mainstream adoption; he can also speak to the technology and best practices (for companies, creators, programmers, and others) that will make AR experiences an easily adopted, everyday part of our lives.

Mobile Augmented Reality is already a mainstream media platform in use today by more than 1 billion consumers worldwide. With the release of new untethered headsets and more content to experience on them, Virtual Reality is on its way to critical mass as well. Games and entertainment have been the key driver for adoption on the consumer end, but will it be enough to sustain the current speed of adoption? What's the demand for entertainment applications and how can developers monetize? Finally, where are the biggest opportunities for advertisers and creators who seek to engage these hard-to-reach consumers? Will the gaming-focused Oculus Quest open the floodgates and serve as the catalyst for broader consumer adoption? Learn the answers to these questions and more as Stephanie Llamas, head of XR at SuperData, a Nielsen Company, presents critical data and insights from her unique vantage at the center of the exploding VR and AR universe.
