7 A tall order – isn’t EYEi from eyeinteractive just another Augmented Reality app? “
8
Presentation to Joe Smith
Wash your mouth out! For the last 3 years kpm have been watching closely the
development of Augmented Reality platforms such as Blippar,
Layar and Aurasma and now other ‘interactive’ providers such
as Amazon Fire and Shazam. How they would develop through
listening to the needs of brands and marketers to deliver
something more flexible and less gimmicky and greedy.
Unfortunately the AR/Interactive industry has been too slow to
react and kpm identified that the potential for mass integration
of interactive digital content in areas such as Direct Mail,
Charities, TV and public space would not come from these
early adopters and even the newer ones such as Fire and
Shazam.

Presentation to Joe Smith
Now we had a problem … What were our options:
• White label Layar’s software and become a reseller
• Promote Blippar, Layar and Aurasma to our clients
• Find a partner and develop our own image recognition platform
• DO NOTHING!
Hmmmm!
10
Presentation to Joe Smith
We may have been bonkers? We decided to find a partner who could develop the then
unnamed dream that would become EYEi.
It would be the largest on-going investment that kpm would
possibly ever make, and into an emerging sector with no solid
track record.
A REAL BUM CLENCHER!

Presentation to Joe Smith
But as luck would have it .. We are told that things happen for a reason ….
We were introduced to an established Dutch development
company who were also looking for someone like us. The
Dutch company had been involved with image recognition as
far back as 2003, way before smart devices were developed.
Subsequently they were the brains behind the platform that is
now Layar …. (It’s a memory they do not like to talk about.)

“I now pronounce you husband and wife”
Don’t worry we never consummated, but we may as well be
married. The synergy between our two companies and the
vision for the future is very much shared.
Our key development strategy is very simple:
• Make EYEi more flexible over multiple channels. Add a USP
• Develop a cloud based Client Visual Creator System
enabling users to create and publish their own content
• Build a customer recognised brand for the viewing of
interactive content
• Analytics
13
Presentation to Joe Smith
“Til death do us part”
As with any marriage there must be commitment.
To cement the relationship and give our clients the reassurance
that the EYEi platform is here to stay, eyeinteractive and our
Dutch partner will soon be financially linked – this both protects
our investment and ensures that the platform continues to
provide the very best features and benefits as technology
evolves.

They refer to it as the lab!
If they can steal the moon – imagine what they can do with your digital content!

Presentation to Joe Smith
Now we had a probl
Firstly let’s forget and try not to
mention Augmented Reality again …
Why?
Because it confuses marketers and
customers - has no commercial
meaning or clear objective.
25
Presentation to Joe Smith
From now on we will refer to it only as
an element of –
INTERACTIVE CONTENT
26

Presentation to Joe Smith
What does interactive mean? By a user downloading the EYEi app they are able to scan any image where
the EYEi logo is shown. Actions the user will be able to control include:
• Video content in full screen or mapped to the scanned image
• Initiate social media channels such as Twitter and Facebook to like, share
or comment
• Link to specific web pages and content
• Direct Dial
• Download and update 3rd party apps
• View static images, listen to audio
• Automatic or manual language control when enabled
• Use EYEi to ‘listen’ for interactive audio from sources such as radio
• Allow data collection for opt in purposes
The list is long – essentially any logical data link can be made with EYEi
29
Presentation to Joe Smith
Q: “Is it Augmented Reality though?”
Yes and No!
We use multiple methods of engagement that can be used in isolation or
married together across channels to provide a more rewarding experience.
• Audio Recognition – (Due December 2014)
• Moving Image Recognition
• Static Image Recognition
A scan can initiate a single or combined experience using:
• Web linking
• Audio / Video (full screen)
• Virtual Reality (2d / 3d / 360x360)
• Augmented Reality (2d / 3d)
• QR code – (coming soon! Why not?)
30
Presentation to Joe Smith
Q: “Are there analytics for every action?”
Yes
We track every action taken by the user once they have scanned an EYEi
enabled image.
• GPS Location – for better localised targeting
• Virtual buttons used and destinations
• Number of visits per device / user
• Language used
• Device type & serial No – IOS / Android
• How the user connected – wifi / 3G / 4G
• Other user defined information where permitted
• When user login is activated EYEi can track history of that user and
address them directly whenever they scan an image. This is a future
update that will attract opt in data permissions from users.
Using EYEi to recognise TV advertising
and programming

#I bet Mum scans that next time and buys that pink dress

Finally - some headline stats… Afterwards – ask yourselves this:
Q: Should interactive content remain confusing and a
luxury, or should we all act now as an industry and
embrace it as a genuine everyday marketing tool?
