Magnetic tags are common features on most refrigerators of households. They are part of the décor in the kitchen.
They serve many purposes including jolting one’s memory of a place(s), event, people or thing(s) to do etc.
They remain to be seen prominently whenever you are in the kitchen. They are great reminders and prompters.
Many existing magnetic tags on refrigerators are company logos and brands that have been around for years and are still in production and distribution.
Existing magnetic tags and new ones, that are yet to designed and made for distribution, can all be great Markers for use to trigger off AR Production(Augmented Reality Production), VR Production(Virtual Reality Production) for advertisement and promotion campaigns.
PizzzAR cloud-based service platform for digital medium for advertisement and promotion campaigns can work with both existing magnetic tags on refrigerators and new ones that can be designed to suit the campaigns.
The issuers / brand-owners of the magnetic tags can take advantage of the thousands or millions of their magnetic tags that are already installed on the doors of refrigerators of households - a formidable installed base –as springboards to deliver ads and promo messages

Augmented Reality (AR) enables users to experience the world around them as is, but with the enhancement in the form of additional layers of digital content over and above Reality such as images, sound, video and text; contents information that is available and relevant to the user's specific situation at the time.
Virtual Reality is a three-dimensional, computer generated environment which can be explored and interacted with by a person. That person becomes part of this virtual world or is immersed within this environment and whilst there, is able to manipulate objects or perform a series of actions.
Mixed Reality (MR) is the combination of operation and experience in an environment where one can avail oneself of the advantages of Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and yet being able to interact with the AR presentation with actions/interactions in physical reality.
Simply put, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and more—over the Internet (“the cloud”). Companies offering these computing services are called cloud providers and typically charge for cloud computing services based on usage, similar to how you’re billed for water or electricity at home.
All contents for the ad and promo campaigns are digital and cloud-based. The digital assets are readily available for transport from the Cloud to the play-station (Smartphone or Tablet) connected to the Internet anywhere in the world.
Contents are a one-time production of the digital assets for use relative to a Project. The digital assets of a Project reside in a cloud-based server and are available on-demand for transport from the cloud server to a Smartphone/Tablet running PizzzAR app that is triggered to play the Project with the reading of a Marker or the detection of the location coordinates of the Smartphone/Tablet in a specific location anywhere when connected to the Internet.
The contents of the Project can be updated with ease simply by uploading the updated assets to the cloud-based server.
Advantage: There is no need to make any change to the Marker that is out there for public viewing and use when there is a need to update the contents of the ad/promo campaigns.
The ad and promo campaign plays anywhere to an interested party anywhere in the world that is connected to the Internet.
Multiple sessions of playing of the Project can take place currently across time zones anywhere in the world as long as the user/viewer has Internet connection.
One-time production cost of the Project including production of the digital assets for the content (as low as US$1500 including 10 hours of labor cost for creation and production of digital assets; additional labor billed at US$150 per hour).
Monthly cost of storage of the digital assets in the cloud server (as low as US$0.15 per GB per month).
The per-per-use cost of transport of the digital assets from the cloud server to the Smartphone/Tablet playing the Project. (as low as US$0.25 per GB of data transfer).
A Marker of 2.5” x 2.5” space/area on display in a high consumer traffic area / physical medium can be used for a Project that is an advertisement or promotion campaign consisting of tens of pages of presentation materials including text graphics, video, audio, webpages, images, voice over etc.
There is no physical printing involved; no cost of paper.
It is a super cost efficient way of doing Production.
The non-recurring cost of Production in manageable; the variable costs (cost of storage and transportation of digital assets) rise only in relation to greater volume of viewing/playing of the Project.
Each of the entity in the distribution value chain / food chain of the PizzzAR ecosystem of digital medium for ad/promo campaigns has access to dashboard restricted by their levels of viewing privileges and with password protection. The dashboard gives graphical display of performance data on individual campaigns (Project) and the relative cost of the campaign of the Project on PizzzAR service platform. These are valuable tools for managing the campaigns and the costs and for decision making.
The performance data is the result of Big Data Analytics on the data captured from the individual Smartphone and Tablet playing the Project of ad / promo campaign. Data such as where and when the user plays the Project, the duration of play (eyeballs capture) of the Project, what device was used to play the Project and particulars relative to the user; what projects get the most play, the longest play; what is trending etc.
PizzzAR digital medium for advertisement and promotion campaign is incorporated with location aware capability for use both indoors and outdoors to do Push Advertising / Promotion. PizzzAR running in Smartphone reads GPS coordinates and other locationing ID data and use them to determine if the user (person handling the Smartphone) is in the vicinity of an advertiser’s store location or in an area interesting to the advertiser for the purpose to doing a Push Advertisement or Promotiion at the time of day.
An example of pro-active or push advertisement and promotion campaign can work as follows: if and when the user/viewer running PizzzAR in their Smartphone is within 20 feet of a sporting goods store in a shopping mall who is an advertiser on PizzzAR service platform, PizzzAR can bring up and deliver a certain ad of the advertiser and push it to the viewer.
The ad may be for a special offer that says “For today only, 50% off the price on price tag for all Reebok sneakers at FootComfort, there is one within 20 feet from where you are.” The message is delivered in both audio (voice) and text + logo + interesting graphic animation.
Another example maybe a Push Advertisement for Point of Interest / Tourist Sights: when PizzzAR read the GPS coordinates of the user’s location and know that the user is within walking distance from a popular tourist sight, PizzzAR then presents the ad relative to the Point of Interest and even give direction to get to the target destination right there and then.
