View2Tour & View2Visit are apps that are enabled to do AR Production and VR Production of features and experience of touring/visiting a destination without being there.
Clearly a virtual experience made possible with VR Production is not the same as the real experience of being there; but there is a great deal to be said for the approximation to the real experience – especially considering that relatively little time and expense are invested to get the experience.
The great advantage is with AR Production that the app provides. It is the most time and cost efficient way of learning about a destination (country/location) of visit; AR Production of facts of history, culture, geography and highlights on interesting events and festivals etc. can all be instantly presented in vivid video with audio in the display of a Tablet or a Smartphone by simply pointing the camera of the Tablet or a Smartphone, running the app, on the marker that is used to trigger the AR Production.
We customs-build an app to achieve the objective of providing certain information about a destination in AR Production which may transition to a VR Production of a certain feature or an information item that gives the viewer the virtual experience of being there in the scene of the event or of the geography.
For instance, an app may be made for promoting the tourism sights of Newfoundland, Canada in AR Production showing images of the various famous sights in various parts of Newfoundland including icebergs on Iceberg Alley of the eastern coast of the island; the viewer/user of the app may tap on the image of icebergs in AR Production and be transitioned into a VR Production of a site in Twillingate and be able to "tour" or "visit" various parts of the coast of twillingate. The VR Production may be viewed/experienced with VR Glasses or a HMD (Head Mounted Display) or the user can have the virtual experience of "touring" / "visiting" various parts of the Twillingate coast in 360VR simply by tilting the position of the camera of the Tablet or the Smartphone.
Another example of application is described as follows:
The user runs the View2Visit app in his/her Tablet or Smartphone and point the camera of the Tablet/Smartphone at a marker (in this case an image of a model of a house design). The action triggers the AR Production that presents to the viewer/user a Floor Plan of the house model. A message at the bottom of the Floor Plan display prompts the viewer/user to tap to visit the interior layout of the various rooms of the model of house design.in VR Production.

Augmented Reality (AR) in architecture enables you to have a display, in a Smartphone or a Tablet, of a computer-generated 3D model of your architectural design set in the real physical space/environment where you want to place the design at the time.
AR techniques employ advanced technology such as computer vision and object recognition and the information about the surrounding real world of the user/viewer to make it possible for them to interact with and digitally manipulate the AR production.
ARDIFICE is an app that is customs made for AR Production of an architectural design with the use of computer generated 3D Models ready to be set in any real physical space where the user/viewer is at the time. It also has the facility to transition the display from an AR Production to a Virtual Reality (VR) Production.
A good application example where such techniques are used is described as follows:
A customs-built ARDIFICE app, when triggered to do AR Production, presents a model of a house that may be sited digitally on/at an empty plot of land surrounded by existing buildings; in the correct proportion in terms of relative dimensions, the app then prompts the viewer/user to tap on various parts of the house model to have an enlarged view of the parts of the house and further prompt the viewer to tap to select to view what/how the various parts of the house would look when properly/stylishly furnished and decorated in VR Production that allows the viewer to “tour” or look around in the interior of the display by going to the left or to the right or going deep into the scene of the decorated space.
Virtuecor is an AR-enabled app that you can use to digitally furnish a vacant space indoors or outdoors with furniture items available for selection and placement. You can also use Virtuecor to add items of décor to an existing furnished space. All the items must first be made as digital assets ready for use.
Virtuecor app is purpose-made for each application to the requirement of a business. For large deployment that involves many furniture items and other items of décor, the digital assets for the items would reside in a cloud-based server that support the operation and use of the app by a consumer in an physical location/situation.
PizzzAR is a high efficacy and super cost efficient digital medium for advertisement and promotion campaign, featuring AR/VR/MR Production, location-aware function, view data capture and big data analytics in a comprehensive managed service provision. It is a disruptive technology in the media advertising space that does both pull and push operation for the advertisement. The top surface of a Pizza Box is a very valuable ad space. You can divide the top of a 10” x 10” pizza box into 16 equally-sized squares (4 across and 4 down). Each square is printed with an advertiser’s logo or an image that highlights their wares and services. The printed square is used as Marker or Target to trigger AR (Augmented Reality) Production. What is AR? It is augmentation of experience with an event or activity by layering of additional data or digital assets over the physical reality of the regular experience. An app is first installed in a Smartphone (either iOS or Android compliant) to run in it. The consumer simply points the camera of the Smartphone at a Marker of interest to trigger the presentation of AR Production. The AR Production can be an ad presentation that consists of any number of pages of texts, images, videos, audios or an incentive of sorts – discount vouchers etc. Making change, update, improvement can all be made in the cloud-based service platform easily - it's a breeze! Location-aware function working with GPS-based geofencing and iBeacon-based location-sensing allow for useful data capture and big data analytics for both passive and pro-active advertisement and promotion campaign to be run with great efficacy and high efficiency. An example of pro-active or push advertisement and promotion campaign can work as follows: if and when the user/viewer running PizzzAR in his 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 with 20 feet from where you are.” The message is delivered in both audio (voice) and text + logo + interesting graphic animation. PizzzAR service platform is designed to have all the functions required to facilitate fast onboarding of all parties involved in the distribution value/food chain to acquire and support the advertiser and the advertisement and promotion campaign. Multiple levels of resellers are supported for discrete settings for pricing and billing operation. All stakeholders get web-based dashboard for viewing of campaign performance and cost and margin management etc. You can just let your enterprising imagination run wild to come up with all possibilities of promotion and monetization. Think what you want to make a 2.5”x 2.5” Marker to become and how it can be used for promotion of anything by anyone to anyone on any printed page that has a huge circulation for distribution. While it is certainly true that everyone loves pizza, PizzzAR as a notion is powerful and profitable and applicable for adoption for implementation in any 'vehicle" that has large circulation even just a full-page of a magazine with large circulation. PizzzAR's greatest advantage is its multiplying effect. One 2.5" x 2.5" real estate in any print medium can be made to present a multiplicity of great deals for advertising and promotion purposes.
