The pandemic disrupted prospective students and their families from the college campus visit, one of the most impactful experiences for those students and their families. A meaningful visit experience helps students imagine their lives at a university setting and sets the stage for students’ long-term success. Yet what happens when in-person visits and tours with guides can’t happen?
Close to 70k people visit the University of Texas at Austin every year, consisting largely of prospective students and their family and friends. In early 2020, the University of Texas at Austin opened their new Welcome Center, yet no one came because we were all at home. In partnership with The Texas Immersive Institute, UT Admissions wanted to better connect with digital first families. With the use of 8th Wall WebAR, Texas Immersive faculty and students reimagined the prospective UT Austin Longhorn experience. This panel will offer insights into the project's experience from the personalized AR Mailer sent to the home, to extending the on-campus tour with a location-based AR game, and an opportunity to capture the memory with an AR photo booth at the Welcome Center.

Immersive experiences are about to become the new frontier of marketing, providing customers with more control over their experience and the ability to invite in and experience brands they love. With the looming fight for attention, brands need to understand the opportunities and threats: how to be discovered, how to be "invited in" as trusted partners in XR , and how to stay involved when consumers navigate their world with Augmented Reality as the information and experience layer. With new ways to access XR experiences, this panel will explore how consumers will use XR to engage with brands in a variety of ways - including potentially excluding them completely - and how brands should be approaching how to set themselves up for success in the near future.

Many brands have embraced Augmented Reality advertising on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat for the power it gives audiences to try their products on virtually. But AR commerce is about so much more than the virtual try-on. When done right, AR can serve the entire marketing funnel, from fun, compelling experiences that redefine how consumers engage with brands to viral advocacy campaigns that extend an advertiser’s reach and boost their brand awareness. In this talk, Camera IQ co-founder Allison Ferenci will discuss the secrets for creating AR experiences that impact the entire decision-making funnel.
