You're creating interactive product demos. How can you make them stand out from the crowd?

Craft standout interactive product demos by focusing on user engagement. Prioritize intuitive design for seamless navigation. Incorporate gamification elements for a fun and memorable experience. Personalize demos to cater to diverse user preferences. Utilize cutting-edge AR or VR technologies for immersive demonstrations. Implement interactive storytelling to create a narrative around the product. Encourage user participation through quizzes or challenges. Lastly, gather feedback to continually refine and enhance the demo's effectiveness. These strategies elevate your product demos, making them distinct and captivating for users.

To make your interactive product demos stand out using AR, start by picking the right AR type for your goal. If it's for marketing, use image targets to make ads come alive. For showing how products fit in a space, surface targets are your go-to. To redesign a room, area targets can show the whole setup. For experiences tied to a location, geolocation-based AR adds magic. And for trying on clothes or accessories, body tracking lets people see how they look. Platforms like PlugXR can help to achieve all the above. We can make demos are fun and easy to use. People will be able to change product features like color or size with simple taps. High-quality 3D models make everything look real and inviting.

Your audience must always fulfill three important things: 1. understanding how to navigate 3D space, even with simple AR with "model viewers". 2. understanding of what to "do" in the experience 3. they should be able to see and "experience" the story of the scenes without an instructor standing next to them. How do we achieve this? by building on existing UI and UX features from other more accessible media e.g. zooming in on a 3d object using a pinch gesture familiar to us as zoom in the photo app.

Test as much as you can before releasing AR experience. Focus on the following: - Test all functionalities (follow workflow and its deviations) - See if the exceptions are caught up nicely to redirect. - Run performance testing (load testing) to make sure it does not get crashed with high users. - Load time testing of 3D assets (crucial to provide a lightining fast AR experience). Finally above all, make sure, based on the audience, you put proper engagement criteria (CTA, purchase option, interactivity etc.).

Incorporating social interactions and collaboration components in the product can deeply connect users with the product on an emotional level. For instance, allowing users to try it on, see loved ones trying it, take selfies, and share the experience with others amplifies the sense of connection and engagement.
