Augmented reality (AR) involves the inclusion of virtual elements into a live view of a current, real-world space, bridging the gap between the physical and digital worlds.

HCD introduces AR Surveys, a novel market research methodology allowing consumers to respond to digital survey questions while viewing a product or consumer experience through their device’s camera. This use of AR Surveys merges a physical product with a digital landscape to better understand consumer perceptions.

It is easy to implement, provides an opportunity for creative insights, and uncovers in-the-moment reactions. It creates a fun and easy opportunity for consumers to evaluate products and experiences in store or at home with their own smartphone or tablet.
