Augmenteum’s first Crowd AR experience is Augmenteum Live!, a shared AR experience that immerses crowds from tens to thousands of spectators in a real-time 3D animated experience.  Created for live entertainment and experiential marketing, Augmenteum Live! creates exceptional engagement by surrounding users in a shared experience incorporated into a live show. 

At Augmenteum, we are creating shared multi-user AR experiences that capture intense user interest.  These experiences drive long dwell times, frequent revisits and prolific sharing – characteristics that deliver exceptional value, particularly in entertainment, sales, marketing and education applications.  Today we’re announcing CrowdAR, in which many users simultaneously share and interact with animated 3D digital content to create immersive AR experiences.  To enable Crowd AR, we are building the Augmenteum Cloud platform.
