THE AR VISUAL BUSINESS CARD

Trade Shows, Conventions, and any sort of Exposition where there are exhibitors and attendees can greatly benefit from the use of BubblAR tech. 1st, being part of the community of people having the BubblAR App on their phones or regularly carrying/wearing an ALTag will open up many opportunities to connect with people around them. Many people at trade shows will use their Thought Bubble as their visual AR Business Card (as shown at right). Just looking around using the BubblAR App will open a lot of doors to contacts people won’t even know were around them. Most BubblAR App users will have additional links to their other social media so BubblAR Users be able to connect/”link” to them as contacts, “friends”, etc. via meeting them in the BubblAR environment.

A NEW VIEW OF THE SHOW

The BubblAR App will have “Trade Show” options that will be available as an “add-on” to any person who already has the BubblAR App in their Smart Phone or Tablet. If a person comes to a Trade show and is not already a member of the BubblAR community, it will be offered Free-of-Charge at any venue that features BubblAR at the Trade show. When any person signs up with their business info (as is common at most Trade shows) the ID badge they will be issued may contain an ALTag chip with all the info they’ve supplied (See the Intellectual property page for details on the ALTag technology). This way, either by Smart Phone or ALTag, every person in the Trade Show will have specific “Identifiers” attached to them as they wander the show. Exhibitors and Attendees can select specific “Identifiers” to be highlighted in their views of the crowds. If an Exhibitor is looking for “Buyers” then the BubblAR App can be set to only show “Buyers” or make their Thought Bubbles “Glow” or stand out in some other way. If an Attendee is looking for a particular seller of a specific brand or type of gizmo, then the same highlighting can take place. Additionally, when viewing a crowd in a venue, the closest BubblAR Thought Bubbles will show full info, while more distant Thought Bubbles will show up as generic identifying Thought Bubbles until they get closer. The BubblAR App will also display how many BubblAR signals are in the view and how many (the “List View) are in your “Operational Circle” (See the Intellectual property page for details on the Thought Bubble and the Operational Circle). BubblAR App tech will open an entire new world of introductions and communications with many people you might have missed at the Trade show.

AMAZING FOCUS AND CLARITY

The use of BubblAR tech at major Trade Shows will be enhanced by the use of “Beacons” placed strategically around the Trade Show Floor. Beacons are like invisible “spot lights” that focus the BubblAR tech signals so that anyone with a ALTag or BubblAR equipped Smart Phone can be seen at greater distances than are within the normal view of the App’s Operational Circle. Beacons will also allow BubblAR Apps to broadcast text-on-screen calls to people (within the Beacons area) with specific buyer requirements (spelled out in their business info – such as “looking for xyz tech”). This will provide another layer of functionality to the Venue, the Exhibitors and the Attendees – so that they all get the most “bang-for-their-buck” attending the Trade Show.

INTERACTIVE CONNECTIONS

BubblAR allows you to “SEE & BE SEEN”, as the saying goes. Any BubblAR App user who see you, and reads your available profile (which is provided by you and its info is up to your discretion) – can then directly contact you via a text message. The Image (below) shows a BubblAR App user seeing a message from another App user who happens to be in their view area. This type of visual interactivity and its ability to create a business connection is the next step towards a personal meeting to start a potential business relationship. Not every invitation needs to be immediately responded to, but the person and connection is there to be followed up when appropriate to time and circumstances. It is another way that BubblAR will optimize the time and efforts put into Trade Shows by both Exhibitors and Attendees.

FLOATING & MOVING PROMOTIONS

BubblAR tech will allow companies to display their images anywhere at any time without geolocation, the use of images or other conventional AR anchoring techniques. BubblAR ALTags will permit pre-programmed AR images to not just float above Trade Show booths – but above moving people and even vehicles. Any location, inside or outside a Trade Show can become a BubblAR AR display.
