All the folks currently working in graphic design, advertising and other digital creative fields can already take advantage of augmented reality in their projects, and also as their next differentiating skill set.

Spatial computing, the moving from 2D to 3D, will be the next big thing in computer evolution. Not unlike the shift from print to TV to digital. One of augmented reality's most promising use-case areas is to create experiences for consumers like lenses and animations — the most apparent current revenue opportunity for businesses and the current industry accelerant.

Simon Sinek's first TEDx talk from 2009 is the 3rd most-watched TED talk of all time, clocking at well over 46 million views at the moment. If you haven't watched it already, please do so now. The speech is well worth the twenty minutes.

Imagine a parallel digital universe. A place where anything is possible and everything can be anything. You can see what others can't or participate together in the same dimension. You could switch your vision from work to navigation to gaming to socializing with a flick of a switch.

Remember the last time a marketing campaign stuck to you? Then answer this simple question: Was it because the visuals were outstanding, or the product and its features so amazing that you still can remember them? Or was it the fact that the campaign somehow moved you from the inside? Out of these two, I can almost guarantee it was the latter. It might have been a great story where you really empathized with the characters or a campaign that resonated with a greater cause.

As in all marketing, content is king. The same naturally applies to AR. So why is it that most of the content we see are flying whales and meaningless, glued-on AR filters?

I’m not saying that dinosaurs on your lawn or funny cat whisker filters shouldn’t exist, but AR can be so much more. If you have ever wondered how to augment your business, read on.
